Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro II at 1:00
we were tight knit boys brothers in more than name
you would kill for me and knew that i'd do the same
and it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away
but everything goes away
yeah everything goes away
but i'm gonna be here til i'm nothing
put bones in the ground
i was there when you restless
left in the dead of night
i was there when three months later
you were standing in the door all beaten and tired
and i stepped aside
Interlude
everything goes away
yeah everything goes away
but i'm gonna be here til i'm nothing
put bones in the ground
so quiet down
Interlude
we were opposites at birth
i was steady as a hammer
no one worried cause they knew just where i'd be
and they said you were the crooked kind
that you would never have no words
but you were always gold to me
back when we were kids
we swore we knew the future
and how our words would take us halfway round the world
but i never left this town
and you never saw new york
and we aint ever crossed the sea
but i am fine with where i am now
this home is home and all that i need
but for you this place is shame
you can blame me when there's no one left to blame
oh i don't mind
Interlude
well all my life i've never known where you've been
there were holes in you
the kind that i could not mend
and i heard you say
right when you left that day
does everything go away
yeah everything goes away
but i'm gonna be here til forever
so just call when you're around
