Intro: Am, D, G, C
Am D G C
A small group of boys walks down the street
Am D G C
Throwing a ball in the air
Am D G C
One says to another, hey I'll always be your brother
Am D G
I'll always be your friend
G D C Am
Do you remember when we thought we were immortal
G D C D
And the games we played always had a happy end
G D C Am
But in the game of life all the roses wither
G D C G
And time writes it's lines upon your face...
Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says
Chorus
It's 3 AM and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard, and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country
A brother listens to his blues, he says
Chorus
Bridge:
G Am C D
Lift your voices loud and clearly
G Am C D
Sing for brotherhood right now
G Am C D
Lift your voices loud and clearly
G Am C G
Sing for sisterhood right now
Alternate Chorus:
G D C Am
Sometimes I wish that we all were immortal
G D C D
And the games we played always had a happy end
G D C Am
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing
G D C D G
But I'm just glad to spend my time...with you
