Brotherly Love

View chords used in this chart
D G A
We shared the same last name and the same color eyes
D Bm A
But we fought like tigers over that old red bike
D
I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove
G
It wouldn't take long 'til push came to shove
A D
But, we looked out for each other with Brotherly Love
D G A
You hated girls 'til I had my first date
D Bm A
I brought her home from the movies; you stayed up late
D Bm
Three on the couch watchin' T.V.
G
I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me
A D
But, I wouldn't trade it for nothin', Brotherly Love.
 
[Refrão]G A
There's a bond that brothers know
D Bm
And it gets stronger as they grow
G A D
A love that time and miles can't come between
G A
We disagreed but in the end
D Bm
There will never be two closer friends
G A
And Brotherly Love is something we all need.
 
D G A
They share the same last name and the same color eyes
D Bm A
But they fight like tigers over one old' red bike
D
And lookin' at them reminds me of us
G
They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss
A D
But, they got something special, it's Brotherly Love.
(Repeat chorus)
