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
