Brotherly Love

Tom: E

E                                                A
We shared the same last name and the same color eyes
    E                                       B
But we fought like tigers over that old red bike
E
I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove
   A                       C#m          B
It wouldn't take long 'til push came to shove
    A                      B                    E
But we looked out for each other with Brotherly Love

[Verse 2]
E                                    A
You hated girls 'til I had my first date
              E                                   B
I brought her home from the movies; you stayed up late
E
Three on the couch watchin' TV
      A                             C#m         B
I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me
    A                         B                E
But I wouldn't trade it for nothin', Brotherly Love

[Chorus]
A                    B
There's a bond that brothers know
    E                C#m
And it gets stronger as they grow
A                     B                 E
A love that time and miles can't come between
A                B
We disagreed but in the end
            E              C#m
There will never be two closer friends
E                                       B
And Brotherly Love is something we all need

[Verse 3]
E                                                 A
They share the same last name and the same color eyes
     E                                      B
But they fight like tigers over one old red bike
    E
And lookin' at them reminds me of us
A                       C#m           B
They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss
    A                  B                       E     C#m  B
But they got something special, it's Brotherly Love
      A                     B                       E
Yeah, they've got something special, it's Brotherly Love
