[Intro]
Am F G
Am F G

[Verse 1]
Am F G
I didn’t like you when I first met you, but then you grew on me
Am F G
I’ve got a tendency to like the wilder ones
Am F G E
Haunted by demons you were going through hell, I wanted you to be free
F C Dm
I didn’t know if I could help or not, but I wouldn’t flee

[Chorus]
Dm Am C G
Now when I reach out in the dark, I don’t feel you
Dm Am C G
Have we crossed the point of no return?
Dm Am C G
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
Dm Am C G
But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go
Dm Am C G
My brother
Dm Am C G
My brother

[Verse 2]
Am F G
Do you remember that night in the basement I walked in on you?
Am F G
Gun at your head and finger on the trigger, I knew what you would do
Am F G E
We talked for hours and the tears came down, you needed an escape
F C Dm
I’m glad you didn’t end your life that day in spite of all that weight

[Chorus]
Dm Am C G
Now when I reach out in the dark, I don’t feel you
Dm Am C G
Have we crossed the point of no return?
Dm Am C G
I wanna be loud and clear in that I miss you
Dm Am C G
But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go
Dm Am C G
My brother
Dm Am C G
My brother

But now I guess I understand that to truly love you I had to let you go
