[Verse 1]

F                  C                 G         Am
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    Am
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

          Am                  C
And I was there when you grew restless
F           C       G
Left in the dead of night
          Am                       C
And I was there, when three months later
         F                                 G
You were standing in the door all beat and tired
N.C.
and I stepped aside

           F     C
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
N.C.
So quiet down

[Bridge]

        C
We were opposites at birth
      G
I was steady as a hammer
       Am                                     Em
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
        Am                                     Em
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

         Am                C
But I am fine with where I am now
     F                 C          G
This home is home, and all that I need
        Am                 C
But for you, this place is shame
        F                                    G
You can blame me when there's no one left to blame
N.C.
Oh, I don't mind

[Verse 3]

F      C                      G            Am
All my life, I've never known where you've been
           F        C
There were holes in you
                G         C
The kind that I could not mend

      F         C
And I heard you say
               G         Am
Right when you left that day
                F    C
Does everything go away?
                 G     C
Yeah, everything goes away

              F            C
But I'm gonna be here 'til forever
        Am               G
So just call when you're around
