G#5/F# C#/F B/D#In the quiet time of evening,
F#/C# B F#add2When the stars assume their patterns
C#/F D#m C#maj7 Bmaj9And the day has made his journey,
B/C#And we wondered just what happened
Bmaj7 G#m7 A#m7To the life we knew, before the world changed,
D#m Cm7 Bmaj7When not a thing I held was true.
B/C#But you were kind to me,
F#add2And you reminded me
G#5/F# C#/F B/D#That the world is not my playground;
F#/C# B F#add2There are other things that matter;
C#/F D#m C#maj7 Bmaj9And what is simple needs protecting.
B/C#My illusions all would shatter,
Bmaj7But you stayed
A#m7 G#m7 A#m7in my corner,
D#m Cm7 Bmaj7The only world I knew was upside down,
Bmaj7/C#And now the world and me
will know you carried me.
F#add2
C#/F D#m7 C# Bmaj7You see the patterns in the big sky;
C# D#m7Those constellations look like you and I.
A#m7 Cmb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,
G#9We could be lost; we could refuse to try
Bmaj7 F#/A# G#m7 A#m7 D#mBut to have made it through in the dark night,
Cm7 Bmaj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be
Bmaj7/C#But that unusual blend
F#add2 C#/F Bmaj7of my funny friend and me.

G#5/F# C#/F B/D#I'm not as clever as I thought I was.
F#/C# Badd2 F#add2I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something diff'rent.
Fm7 B/D# C# Bmaj7You showed me something pure.
B/C#I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.
Bmaj7 G#m7 A#m7But you stayed, and you called my name
D#m Cm7 Bmaj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.
Bmaj7/C#And look who made it through
Dadd2But your funny friend and you.
A/C# G/B A6 Gmaj7You see the patterns in the big sky.
A Bm7Those constellations look like you and I.
Bm/A Gmaj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.
A7sus Eadd2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
B/D# A/C# B6 Amaj7Just like the patterns in the big sky,
A/B B C#m7We'll be together 'til the end of time.
C#m/B A#m7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.
F#9We'll stick together 'til the day we die.
Amaj9 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7If I have to do this all a second time,
A#m7 A#maj7I won't complain or make a fuss.
A#m7b5Who would the angels send,
A/BBut that unlikely blend
Eadd2/BOf these two funny friends?
That's us.
