[Verso 1]
 
G                N.C. 
City sleeps, but not my youngest brother 
N.C. 
He's the first of us, an unexpected father 
N.C. 
Laying silent, lonely apartment 
N.C. 
He swears he'll be a better parent 
G                            D 
Than his mother's loose foundation 
G                          C      D 
He won't crumble or sink into the ocean 
G                                D 
He's fitting in to a grown man's shoes, whether 
G                           C      D 
Or not he was ready or ever wanted to 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Em       C      G  D 
So I call him by his name 
  Em            C   G   D 
I say you're not to blame 
  Em       C        G  D 
I love you just the same 
  C        D        G 
I love you just the same

G                       D   G 
Yellow light befalls my window 
N.C. 
Casting lines upon your shadow 
N.C. 
What a selfless, firm foundation 
N.C. 
I've surpassed past liberation 
G              C    D 
 Bind us by similar karma 
G              C     D 
 Hold me to personal dharma 
G              C      D 
 I will not be taking chances 
G                C          D 
 Holding fast to brittle branches

     G       C       G  D 
So I call him by his name 
  E          C      G   D 
I say you're not to blame 
C          G        D 
I love you just the same

I love you just the same

N.C.           G 
Oh, for man to see 
{C}                {G} 
 How to treat his queen 
   {C}                 {G} 
To keeping your hands free 
   {C}            {G} 
To carry all she needs 
   {C}             {G} 
To be what she perceives 
       {C}                   {G} 
You've made yourself out to be 
 


[Refrão]
 
       Em       C      G D 
And to call her by her name 
   Em         C      G  D 
To say you're not to blame 
  Em       C        G  D 
I love you just the same 
  Em       C        G  D
