Verse: 
        Em                           C 
Who can say just why all this happened 
             Em				    G    D 
They?d been friends almost all of their of their lives 
        Em			C	 
Sharing all that they had no matter the cost 
          G	       D          Em 
But one chose to be selfish this time 
				 C 
You see the other contracted a sickness  
	 Em			      G   D 
All the doctors just threw up their hands 
               Em 		    C 
His life was ticking away but his friend just stood by 
	  G          D       Em 
Like a spectator up in the stands 
          Em                     C	  
What was crazy was he had the answer 
     Em			       G   D 
To remove all his brother?s disease 
         Em                 C                            G        
But he folded his arms and talked of old times while his best friend  
D             Em 
died without peace 
 
Chorus: 
           G	        C 
Well he?s keeping the cure  
   Am		        Em 
So afraid that a little might spill 
	     G 
Well he?s sure glad he?s got it but he?s too busy to share 
	C			    Am7 
and at least he won?t die like they will 
           Am 	       C	      Em       (Repeat Verse intro) 
Well he?s keeping the cure... in his pocket   
 
Verse: 
        Em      	      C 
You see he?d also been sick earlier 
	  Em			G  D 
To the sickness he?d become a slave 
  	Em 			C 
But one came to his aid with solutions in hand  
	 G		  D	      Em 
He was rescued from the sting of the grave 
				      C 
In the first month he?d told all his buddies 
    	  Em			G  D 
Of the wonderful cure he had found 
       Em 		   C 
But it became routine and few shared his joy 
	G		D	 Em 
So his excitement made less of a sound 
	Em		           C 
Well he realized more people were dying 
	  Em			      G    D 
From the plague for which he had the cure 
	Em			      C	 
But he wasn?t a salesman, and they?d think he?d impose 
	    G	     D	    Em 
And they?d probably seen it before 
 
(Chorus)
