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

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

G#/C A#m G#maj7 F#maj9And the day has made his journey,

F#/G#And we wondered just what happened

F#maj7 D#m7 Fm7To the life we knew, before the world changed,

A#m Gm7 F#maj7When not a thing I held was true.

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

C#add2And you reminded me

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

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

G#/C A#m G#maj7 F#maj9And what is simple needs protecting.

F#/G#My illusions all would shatter,

F#maj7But you stayed

Fm7 D#m7 Fm7in my corner,

A#m Gm7 F#maj7The only world I knew was upside down,

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

will know you carried me.

C#add2

G#/C A#m7 G# F#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky;

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

Fm7 Gmb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,

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

F#maj7 C#/F D#m7 Fm7 A#mBut to have made it through in the dark night,

Gm7 F#maj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be

F#maj7/G#But that unusual blend

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

C#add2

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

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

You showed me something diff'rent.

Cm7 F#/A# G# F#maj7You showed me something pure.

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

F#maj7 D#m7 Fm7But you stayed, and you called my name

A#m Gm7 F#maj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.

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

Aadd2But your funny friend and you.

E/G# D/F# E6 Dmaj7You see the patterns in the big sky.

E F#m7Those constellations look like you and I.

F#m/E Dmaj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.

E7sus Badd2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

F#/A# E/G# F#6 Emaj7Just like the patterns in the big sky,

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

G#m/F# Fm7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.

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

Emaj9 D#m7 C#m7 D#m7 G#m7If I have to do this all a second time,

Fm7 Fmaj7I won't complain or make a fuss.

Fm7b5Who would the angels send,

E/F#But that unlikely blend

Badd2/F#Of these two funny friends?

That's us.
