Intro:  Em  C  G 

     Em 
When we were young we were the ones 
    C                                     G 
The kings and queens, oh yeah we ruled the world 
          Em 
We smoked cigarettes, man no regrets 
     C                          G 
Wish I could relive every single word 

                      Em                           C 
We've taken different paths and traveled different roads 
                    G                                D 
I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old 
    Em                                     C                      G 
And when you're in the trenches and you're under fire I will cover you 

         C          Em 
If I was dying on my knees 
                 G            C 
You would be the one to rescue me 
       C                  Em 
And if you were drowned at sea 
                G                 C 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe 
             C 
I've got you brother 
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother 
     G      C 
I've got you brother 
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother 

   Em                             C 
Oh brother, we go deeper than the ink 
                           G 
Beneath the skin of our tattoos 
       Em 
Though we don't share the same blood 
          C                             G 
You're my brother and I love you, that's the truth 

                       Em                 C 
We're living different lives, heaven only knows 
                 G                                D 
If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes 
Em                C                             G 
5 years, 20 years come back, we'll always be the same 

         C          Em 
If I was dying on my knees 
                 G            C 
You would be the one to rescue me 
       C                  Em 
And if you were drowned at sea 
                G                 C 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe 
             C 
I've got you brother 
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother 

                          C 
And if we hit on troubled water 
                   Em                D 
I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe 
                           C 
And we'll be carrying each other 
                 Em               D 
Until we say goodbye on our dying day 
                     C 
Because I've got you brother 
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother 
     G      C 
I've got you brother 
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother 

         C          Em 
If I was dying on my knees 
                 G            C 
You would be the one to rescue me 
       C                  Em 
And if you were drowned at sea 
                G                 C 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe 

      C            Em 
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh 
            G            C 
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh 
      C            Em 
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh 
            G            C 
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh 

             C 
I've got you brother 
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother
