Brother (Stripped Back)

[Verse 1] When we were young, we were the ones The kings and queens, oh yeah, we ruled the world We smoked cigarettes, man, no regrets Wish I could relive every single word [Pre-Chorus 1] We've taken different paths And travelled different roads I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old And when you're in the trenches And you're under fire, I will cover you [Chorus] If I was dying on my knees You would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe [Post-Chorus] I've got you, brother I've got you, brother I've got you, brother I've got you, brother [Verse 2] Oh, brother, we go deeper than the ink Beneath the skin of our tattoos Though we don't share the same blood You're my brother and I love you, that's the truth [Pre-Chorus 2] We're living different lives Heaven only knows If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes Five years, twenty years, come back It will always be the same, oh-oh, oh-oh [Chorus] If I was dying on my knees You would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe [Post-Chorus] I've got you, brother I've got you, brother [Bridge] And if we hit on troubled water I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe And we'll be carrying each other Until we say goodbye on our dying day Because I've got you, brother I've got you, brother I've got you, brother I've got you, brother [Chorus] If I was dying on my knees You would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe [Outro] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I've got you, brother I've got you, brother
