Brothers

Dm G Dm How can I repay you brother mine? Dm G C F A7 How can I expect you to forgive? Dm G Dm Clinging to the past I shed our blood, D C Dm and shattered your chance to live. Dm G Dm Though I knew the laws I paid no heed. Dm G C F A7 How can I return your wasted breath? Dm G Dm What I did not know has cost you dear, D C Dm For there is no cure for death. (Chorus) F G F G Beautiful mother, soft and sweet F G Bb C Once you were gone we were not complete. F G F G Back through the years we reached for you. F G Am Alas, twas not ment to be. Bb C F And how can I make amends, Bb C F for all that I took from you? G Am Bb I lead you with hopeless dreams. G Am Dm My brother I was a fool. Dm G Dm Don't cry for the past now brother mine, Dm G C F A7 Neither you nor I are free from blame. Dm G Dm Nothing can erase the things we did, D C Dm For the path we took was the same. F G F G Beautiful mother, soft and sweet F G Bb C Once you were gone we were not complete. F G F G Back through the years we reached for you. F G Am Alas, twas not ment to be. Bb C F My dreams made me blind and mute, Bb C F I longed to return to that time, G Am Bb I followed without a word. G Am Dm My brother the fault is mine. Bb C F So where do we go from here? Bb C F And how to forget and forgive? G Am Bb What's gone is forever lost. G Am Dm Now all we can do is live.
