F#                  C#               G#         A#m
We were tight knit boys, brothers in more than name
          F#       C#                   G#      C#
You would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same
       F#      C#                  G#    A#m
And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away

               F#     C#
But everything goes away
                 G#     C#
Yeah, everything goes away

              F#               C#
But I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
                  G#
But bones in the ground

Chorus:
           A#m                Fm
And I was there when you grew restless
F#           C#      G#
Left in the dead of night
           A#m                      Fm
And I was there, when three months later
          F#                                G#
You were standing in the door all beat and tired
and I stepped aside

Everything goes away
Yeah everything goes away
But I'm gonna be here until I'm nothing
But bones in the ground
So quiet down

        C#
We were opposites at birth
       G#
I was steady as a hammer
       A#m                                     Fm
No one worried cause they knew just where I'd be
         F#
And they said you were the crooked kind
           C#
That you'd never have no worth
                    G#
But you were always gold to me

C#
Back when we were kids
   G#
We swore we knew the future
        A#m                                     Fm
And our words would take us halfway 'round the world
      F#
But I never left this town
        C#
And you never saw New York
                  G#
And we ain't ever crossed the sea

Chorus:
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
But you can blame me when there's no one
left to blame

Oh I don't mind

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 going to be here 'til forever
So just call when you're around
