Aadd2

B5/A E/G# D/F#In the quiet time of evening,

A/E D Aadd2When the stars assume their patterns

E/G# F#m Emaj7 Dmaj9And the day has made his journey,

D/EAnd we wondered just what happened

Dmaj7 Bm7 C#m7To the life we knew, before the world changed,

F#m D#m7 Dmaj7When not a thing I held was true.

D/EBut you were kind to me,

Aadd2And you reminded me

B5/A E/G# D/F#That the world is not my playground;

A/E D Aadd2There are other things that matter;

E/G# F#m Emaj7 Dmaj9And what is simple needs protecting.

D/EMy illusions all would shatter,

Dmaj7But you stayed

C#m7 Bm7 C#m7in my corner,

F#m D#m7 Dmaj7The only world I knew was upside down,

Dmaj7/EAnd now the world and me

will know you carried me.

Aadd2

E/G# F#m7 E Dmaj7You see the patterns in the big sky;

E F#m7Those constellations look like you and I.

C#m7 D#mb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,

B9We could be lost; we could refuse to try

Dmaj7 A/C# Bm7 C#m7 F#mBut to have made it through in the dark night,

D#m7 Dmaj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be

Dmaj7/EBut that unusual blend

Aadd2 E/G# Dmaj7of my funny friend and me.

Aadd2

B5/A E/G# D/F#I'm not as clever as I thought I was.

A/E Dadd2 Aadd2I'm not the boy I used to be because

You showed me something diff'rent.

G#m7 D/F# E Dmaj7You showed me something pure.

D/EI always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.

Dmaj7 Bm7 C#m7But you stayed, and you called my name

F#m D#m7 Dmaj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.

Dmaj7/EAnd look who made it through

Fadd2But your funny friend and you.

C/E A#/D C6 A#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky.

C Dm7Those constellations look like you and I.

Dm/C A#maj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.

C7sus Gadd2I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

D/F# C/E D6 Cmaj7Just like the patterns in the big sky,

C/D D Em7We'll be together 'til the end of time.

Em/D C#m7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.

A9We'll stick together 'til the day we die.

Cmaj9 Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Em7If I have to do this all a second time,

C#m7 C#maj7I won't complain or make a fuss.

C#m7b5Who would the angels send,

C/DBut that unlikely blend

Gadd2/DOf these two funny friends?

That's us.
