F#5/E B/D# A/C#In the quiet time of evening,
E/B A Eadd2When the stars assume their patterns
B/D# C#m Bmaj7 Amaj9And the day has made his journey,
A/BAnd we wondered just what happened
Amaj7 F#m7 G#m7To the life we knew, before the world changed,
C#m A#m7 Amaj7When not a thing I held was true.
A/BBut you were kind to me,
Eadd2And you reminded me
F#5/E B/D# A/C#That the world is not my playground;
E/B A Eadd2There are other things that matter;
B/D# C#m Bmaj7 Amaj9And what is simple needs protecting.
A/BMy illusions all would shatter,
Amaj7But you stayed
G#m7 F#m7 G#m7in my corner,
C#m A#m7 Amaj7The only world I knew was upside down,
Amaj7/BAnd now the world and me
will know you carried me.
Eadd2
B/D# C#m7 B Amaj7You see the patterns in the big sky;
B C#m7Those constellations look like you and I.
G#m7 A#mb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,
F#9We could be lost; we could refuse to try
Amaj7 E/G# F#m7 G#m7 C#mBut to have made it through in the dark night,
A#m7 Amaj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be
Amaj7/BBut that unusual blend
Eadd2 B/D# Amaj7of my funny friend and me.
Eadd2
F#5/E B/D# A/C#I'm not as clever as I thought I was.
E/B Aadd2 Eadd2I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something diff'rent.
D#m7 A/C# B Amaj7You showed me something pure.
A/BI always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.
Amaj7 F#m7 G#m7But you stayed, and you called my name
C#m A#m7 Amaj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.
Amaj7/BAnd look who made it through
Cadd2But your funny friend and you.
G/B F/A G6 Fmaj7You see the patterns in the big sky.
G Am7Those constellations look like you and I.
Am/G Fmaj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.
G7sus Dadd2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
A/C# G/B A6 Gmaj7Just like the patterns in the big sky,
G/A A Bm7We'll be together 'til the end of time.
Bm/A G#m7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.
E9We'll stick together 'til the day we die.
Gmaj9 F#m7 Em7 F#m7 Bm7If I have to do this all a second time,
G#m7 G#maj7I won't complain or make a fuss.
G#m7b5Who would the angels send,
G/ABut that unlikely blend
Dadd2/AOf these two funny friends?
That's us.
