How can I repay you brother mine
Dm C F A
How can I expect you to forgive
Dm G Dm Dm
Clinging to the past I shed our blood
C C Dm Dm
And shattered your chance to live
Dm G Dm Dm
Though I knew the laws I payed no heed
Dm C F A
How can I return your wasted breath
Dm G Dm Dm
What I did not know has cost you dear
C C Dm Dm
For there is no cure for death

Beautiful mother soft and sweet
F G Bb C
Once you were gone we were not complete
F G F G
Back through the years we reached for you
F G A A
Alas twas not meant to be
Dm G Dm Dm
And how can I make amends
Dm C F A
For all that I took from you
Dm G Dm Dm
I led you with hopeless dreams
C C Dm Dm
My brother I was a fool
Dm G Dm Dm
Don't cry for the past now brother mine
Dm C F A
Neither you nor I are free from blame
Dm G Dm Dm
Nothing can erase the things we did
C C Dm Dm
For the path we took was the same
F G F G
Beautiful mother soft and sweet
F G Bb C
Once you were gone we were not complete
F G F G
Back through the years we reached for you
F G A A
Alas twas not meant to be
Dm G Dm Dm
My dreams made me blind and mute
Dm C F A
I longed to return to that time
Dm G Dm Dm
I followed without a word
C C Dm Dm
My brother the fault is mine
Dm G Dm Dm
And where do we go from here
Dm C F A
And how to forget and forgive
Dm G Dm Dm
What's gone is forever lost
C C Dm Dm
Now all we can do is live
