A#5/G# D#/G C#/FIn the quiet time of evening,

G#/D# C# G#add2When the stars assume their patterns

D#/G Fm D#maj7 C#maj9And the day has made his journey,

C#/D#And we wondered just what happened

C#maj7 A#m7 Cm7To the life we knew, before the world changed,

Fm Dm7 C#maj7When not a thing I held was true.

C#/D#But you were kind to me,

G#add2And you reminded me

A#5/G# D#/G C#/FThat the world is not my playground;

G#/D# C# G#add2There are other things that matter;

D#/G Fm D#maj7 C#maj9And what is simple needs protecting.

C#/D#My illusions all would shatter,

C#maj7But you stayed

Cm7 A#m7 Cm7in my corner,

Fm Dm7 C#maj7The only world I knew was upside down,

C#maj7/D#And now the world and me

will know you carried me.

G#add2

D#/G Fm7 D# C#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky;

D# Fm7Those constellations look like you and I.

Cm7 Dmb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,

A#9We could be lost; we could refuse to try

C#maj7 G#/C A#m7 Cm7 FmBut to have made it through in the dark night,

Dm7 C#maj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be

C#maj7/D#But that unusual blend

G#add2 D#/G C#maj7of my funny friend and me.

G#add2

A#5/G# D#/G C#/FI'm not as clever as I thought I was.

G#/D# C#add2 G#add2I'm not the boy I used to be because

You showed me something diff'rent.

Gm7 C#/F D# C#maj7You showed me something pure.

C#/D#I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.

C#maj7 A#m7 Cm7But you stayed, and you called my name

Fm Dm7 C#maj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.

C#maj7/D#And look who made it through

Eadd2But your funny friend and you.

B/D# A/C# B6 Amaj7You see the patterns in the big sky.

B C#m7Those constellations look like you and I.

C#m/B Amaj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.

B7sus F#add2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

C#/F B/D# C#6 Bmaj7Just like the patterns in the big sky,

B/C# C# D#m7We'll be together 'til the end of time.

D#m/C# Cm7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.

G#9We'll stick together 'til the day we die.

Bmaj9 A#m7 G#m7 A#m7 D#m7If I have to do this all a second time,

Cm7 Cmaj7I won't complain or make a fuss.

Cm7b5Who would the angels send,

B/C#But that unlikely blend

F#add2/C#Of these two funny friends?

That's us.
