Am                        F                G
I didn't like you when I first met you, but then
you grew on me
Am                      F              G
I've got a tendency to like the wilder ones
Am                          F                G
Haunted by demons you were going through hell,
                 E
I wanted you to be free
F                         C
I didn't know if I could help or not, but
Dm
I wouldn't flee

Chorus:
Dm                           Am            C     G
Now when I reach out in the dark, I don't feel you
Dm                  Am             C  G
Have we crossed the point of no return?
        Dm                    Am     C    G
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
           Dm                         Am
But now I guess I understand that to truly .
         C                  G
love you I had to let you go
       Dm Am C G
My brother
       Dm Am C G
My brother

Do you remember that night in the basement
I walked in on you?
Gun at your head and finger on the trigger,
I knew what you would do
We talked for hours and the tears came down,
you needed an escape
I'm glad you didn't end your life that day
in spite of all that weight

Chorus - x2
