F5/D# A#/D G#/CIn the quiet time of evening,

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

A#/D Cm A#maj7 G#maj9And the day has made his journey,

G#/A#And we wondered just what happened

G#maj7 Fm7 Gm7To the life we knew, before the world changed,

Cm Am7 G#maj7When not a thing I held was true.

G#/A#But you were kind to me,

D#add2And you reminded me

F5/D# A#/D G#/CThat the world is not my playground;

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

A#/D Cm A#maj7 G#maj9And what is simple needs protecting.

G#/A#My illusions all would shatter,

G#maj7But you stayed

Gm7 Fm7 Gm7in my corner,

Cm Am7 G#maj7The only world I knew was upside down,

G#maj7/A#And now the world and me

will know you carried me.

D#add2

A#/D Cm7 A# G#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky;

A# Cm7Those constellations look like you and I.

Gm7 Amb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,

F9We could be lost; we could refuse to try

G#maj7 D#/G Fm7 Gm7 CmBut to have made it through in the dark night,

Am7 G#maj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be

G#maj7/A#But that unusual blend

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

D#add2

F5/D# A#/D G#/CI'm not as clever as I thought I was.

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

You showed me something diff'rent.

Dm7 G#/C A# G#maj7You showed me something pure.

G#/A#I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.

G#maj7 Fm7 Gm7But you stayed, and you called my name

Cm Am7 G#maj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.

G#maj7/A#And look who made it through

Badd2But your funny friend and you.

F#/A# E/G# F#6 Emaj7You see the patterns in the big sky.

F# G#m7Those constellations look like you and I.

G#m/F# Emaj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.

F#7sus C#add2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

G#/C F#/A# G#6 F#maj7Just like the patterns in the big sky,

F#/G# G# A#m7We'll be together 'til the end of time.

A#m/G# Gm7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.

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

F#maj9 Fm7 D#m7 Fm7 A#m7If I have to do this all a second time,

Gm7 Gmaj7I won't complain or make a fuss.

Gm7b5Who would the angels send,

F#/G#But that unlikely blend

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

That's us.
