Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
C#m
I got the letter back, saying I can come and see you
B
I really don't have time, but promise that I'd come and see you
A
You're sitting far away
F#m
But do you know I sometimes need you
G#7
I know that you deserve the time you got of all the people
C#m
I know you never bend even in the strongest wind
B
I really wish to every God that you were innocent
A F#m
I'm happy and I'm proud that I can still call you my friend
G#7
I hope you read the letters and the magazines I've sent
[Chorus]
C#m B
You've got your head up, but I don't have my whole tide
A F#m
I know that you are a good man and that's what brings the tear to my eye
C#m
And I'm like, Ohhhh...
B
I hope you know you're are not alone in that hell
A F#m
And there ain't Noooo
G#7
No one can change it. No one can do it better but yourself
[Verse 2]
C#m
I was sixteen when we used to roll together
B
You told me back then that I was meant for something better
A F#m
You know in my life nothing is going to chance but the weather
G#7
It seems it been forever since we really stucked together
C#m
I'm living a crazy life and wish that you could see it too
B
See a thousand people sing my song from me to you
A F#m
Every time I sing it, you know I'm bleeding too
G#7
Man, I accept you as you are and I don't need the truth
[Chorus]
C#m
I got my head up
B
But I ain't got my whole time
A F#m
See, I know you're a good man
G#7
And that's what brings the tear to my eye
C#m
And I'm like, Ohhhh...
B
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
A F#m
And there ain't Noooo
G#7
No one can change it. No one can do it better but yourself
[Verse 3]
C#m
I reminisce to back then when it was you and I
B
Smoking big fat blonds, driving, moving ahead
A
They tried to get you down
F#m
But you refused to die
G#7
They tried to give you angel wings
But you refused to fly
C#m
You'd rather stay in hell
B
And take your time in jail
A
They are only punishing the soldier you will never sale
F#m
We both know that we owe nothing to each other
G#7
But can you blame me for nothing than missing my brother
[Chorus]
C#m
Ohhhh...
B
I hope you know that you are not alone in that hell
A F#m
And there ain't Noooo
G#7
No one can change it. No one can do it better but yourself
C#m
Ohhhh...
B
I hope you know that you are not alone in that hell
A F#m
And there ain't Noooo
G#7
No one can change it. No one can do it better but yourself

But you refused to fly
You'ld rather stay in Hell
And take your time in jail
They are only punishing the soldier you will never sale
We both know that we owe nothing to each other
But can you blame me for loving you as if you were my brother
