Eddie Vedder - Brother the Cloud: chords

D#       G#m B F# D#
I had a brther
                       G#m B F#
But now my brother is gone

   D#
Oh I search the sky for a
G#m                   B
Glimpse of his blue eyes
      F#     D#
And there I find
                   G# C# B
His image in the clouds

Chorus:
A#          C#           Cm
If I could wish, wish it away
          B           C#        A#
I would bleed out my knees and pray
            C#               Cm
If I could give, all that I have
     B        C#    D#
To bring him back today
                C#
These are but dreams
               Cm
As sad as it seems
      B     C#    D# G#m B F#
I'm always wide awake

Oh, I understand
It was not easy for my friend
Oh, promises
Even to yourself cannot be kept
Enlarge the hole in my heart
Rising river in the dark
Erodes the shore
'Til our shores were far apart

Chorus:
If I could wish, wish it away
I would bleed out my knees and pray
If I could give all that I have
To bring him back today
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems
They never go away

G#m
There's no previous reference
                      B C#
For this level of pain
G#m
I can't feign indifference
               B F#
Can't look away
G#m
The years they go by

The hurt I still hide
                      B          C#
If I look okay, it's just the outside
G#m
There's no previous reference
                   A#m
For this level of pain
            B       C#
Oh I could hear him sing

Chorus:
If I could wish, wish it away
I would bleed out my knees and pray
If I could give all that I have
To bring back yesterday
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems
They never go away
These are but dreams
As sad as it seems
I'm always wide awake

And I would not wish upon you
But should you ever leave this earth
Before me, I doubt this highly
Do for me what I'd do for you
Put your arm around my friend
Put your arm around my friend
Put your arm 'round my brother, my friend
Say for me, for me, for me, fuck you
(Fuck you) Fuck you
What are friends?
What are friends, friends for?
What are friends?
What are friends?
What are friends for?
