C5/A# F/A D#/GIn the quiet time of evening,

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

F/A Gm Fmaj7 D#maj9And the day has made his journey,

D#/FAnd we wondered just what happened

D#maj7 Cm7 Dm7To the life we knew, before the world changed,

Gm Em7 D#maj7When not a thing I held was true.

D#/FBut you were kind to me,

A#add2And you reminded me

C5/A# F/A D#/GThat the world is not my playground;

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

F/A Gm Fmaj7 D#maj9And what is simple needs protecting.

D#/FMy illusions all would shatter,

D#maj7But you stayed

Dm7 Cm7 Dm7in my corner,

Gm Em7 D#maj7The only world I knew was upside down,

D#maj7/FAnd now the world and me

will know you carried me.

A#add2

F/A Gm7 F D#maj7You see the patterns in the big sky;

F Gm7Those constellations look like you and I.

Dm7 Emb5Just like the patterns in the big sky,

C9We could be lost; we could refuse to try

D#maj7 A#/D Cm7 Dm7 GmBut to have made it through in the dark night,

Em7 D#maj7Who would those lucky guys turn out to be

D#maj7/FBut that unusual blend

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

A#add2

C5/A# F/A D#/GI'm not as clever as I thought I was.

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

You showed me something diff'rent.

Am7 D#/G F D#maj7You showed me something pure.

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

D#maj7 Cm7 Dm7But you stayed, and you called my name

Gm Em7 D#maj7When others would have walked out on a lousy game.

D#maj7/FAnd look who made it through

F#add2But your funny friend and you.

C#/F B/D# C#6 Bmaj7You see the patterns in the big sky.

C# D#m7Those constellations look like you and I.

D#m/C# Bmaj7That tiny planet and the bigger guy.

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

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

C#/D# D# Fm7We'll be together 'til the end of time.

Fm/D# Dm7b5Don't know the answer or the reason why.

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

C#maj9 Cm7 A#m7 Cm7 Fm7If I have to do this all a second time,

Dm7 Dmaj7I won't complain or make a fuss.

Dm7b5Who would the angels send,

C#/D#But that unlikely blend

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

That's us.
