Fadd2

G5/F C/E A#/DIn the quiet time of evening,

F/C A# Fadd2When the stars assume their patterns

C/E Dm Cmaj7 A#maj9And the day has made his journey,

A#/CAnd we wondered just what happened

A#maj7 Gm7 Am7To the life we knew, before the world changed,

Dm Bm7 A#maj7When not a thing I held was true.

A#/CBut you were kind to me,

Fadd2And you reminded me

G5/F C/E A#/DThat the world is not my playground;

F/C A# Fadd2There are other things that matter;

C/E Dm Cmaj7 A#maj9And what is simple needs protecting.

A#/CMy illusions all would shatter,

A#maj7But you stayed

Am7 Gm7 Am7in my corner,

Dm Bm7 A#maj7The only world I knew was upside down,

A#maj7/CAnd now the world and me

will know you carried me.

Fadd2

C/E Dm7 C A#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky;

C Dm7Those constellations look like you and I.

Am7 Bmb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,

G9We could be lost; we could refuse to try

A#maj7 F/A Gm7 Am7 DmBut to have made it through in the dark night,

Bm7 A#maj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be

A#maj7/CBut that unusual blend

Fadd2 C/E A#maj7of my funny friend and me.

Fadd2

G5/F C/E A#/DI'm not as clever as I thought I was.

F/C A#add2 Fadd2I'm not the boy I used to be because

You showed me something diff'rent.

Em7 A#/D C A#maj7You showed me something pure.

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

A#maj7 Gm7 Am7But you stayed, and you called my name

Dm Bm7 A#maj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.

A#maj7/CAnd look who made it through

C#add2But your funny friend and you.

G#/C F#/A# G#6 F#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky.

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

A#m/G# F#maj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.

G#7sus D#add2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

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

G#/A# A# Cm7We'll be together 'til the end of time.

Cm/A# Am7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.

F9We'll stick together 'til the day we die.

G#maj9 Gm7 Fm7 Gm7 Cm7If I have to do this all a second time,

Am7 Amaj7I won't complain or make a fuss.

Am7b5Who would the angels send,

G#/A#But that unlikely blend

D#add2/A#Of these two funny friends?

That's us.
