Em
When we were young we were the ones

The kings and queens, oh yeah we ruled the world

We smoked cigarettes, man no regrets
C G
Wish I could relive every single word
Em C
We've taken different paths and traveled different roads
G D
I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old
Em C G
And when you're in the trenches and you're under fire I will cover you
C Em
If I was dying on my knees

You would be the one to rescue me

Oh brother, we go deeper than the ink

Beneath the skin of our tattoos

Though we don't share the same blood

You're my brother and I love you, that's the truth
Em C
We're living different lives, heaven only knows
G D
If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes
Em C G
5 years, 20 years come back, we'll always be the same

If I was dying on my knees
