Remember the time we shared our first cigarette?
A E B C#m C#sus2 C#m
Late at night Whiskey and the Fountainhead
A E B C#m C#sus2 C#m
And though you were younger Still you stole the first kiss
A E B A
Well it seems so long ago We were just kids
[Chorus]
B E A
Brother I thought that you would be there till the end
B E A
You were my rock upon which I could always depend
B E A
Together we fought and never left each other's side
B E F#m
Brother I reached out but you were taken by the tide
Taken by the tide

[Verse]
A E B C#m C#sus2 C#m
We swam in cenotes in southern Mexico
A E B C#m C#sus2 C#m
Though the water was warm Well the cracks had started to show
A E B C#m C#sus2 C#m
You watched the Pacific Sunrise on New Year's Day
A E B A
Next to me but your heart was a million miles away
[Chorus]
B E A
Brother I thought that you would be there till the end
B E A
"You are my watchman," I said, "You are my best friend"
B E A
"It's time for me to go," so softly you replied
B E F#m
Brother I reached out but you were taken by the tide
You were taken by the tide
