VERSE 1 (All chords in this verse are heavily palm muted)
E					F#			 A
I woke up sweating in the sun Sprawled across my big brother’s grave 
E					 F#				A
Shaking and drunk with sleep I crawled to my feet and walked up into the 
E					 F#					A	
shade of a young elm tree that must have been planted since last we came 
E			     F#			     A 			
Vicki my mom and me to clean the dirt from the plaque that says his 
E		F#		E        F#(lighter muting)  	
name

VERSE 2 (All chords in this verse with lighter palm muting)
E					 F#                   A 
Walking to my girlfriend’s car It came back down on me 
E		    F#			                  A 
Yeah, I guess I fell to my knees to keep from falling face first into the 
E					   F#				  A			
dream The vision that had had me twisting out under the afternoon sky
E					   F#				 A 	 	
I didn’t know it then but it was thirteen years to the day he died

Like brothers we walked (we walked) through the colorless world of an
A
alcohol dream
E				     F#                                A 
I talked for hours Trying to break through the silence that he held to me 
E			    F#              A                                
Then he started away, turned and said Keep it up so you can die like me
