I found you in the summer heat, of 1953
 B              G#m  E      C#m
Wise words from your father said

"I know that boy's your brothers friend

Little city and a bigger life

Bridge:
                     E
It's written in the gold rain
                C#m
Passed down the light
                E
Hangin' in the branches
                    C#m
You see it in their eyes
                 E
Pressed in the concrete
                  C#m
Where we used to reside
      B           A      B
It's larger than life

Chorus:
             E           C#m                    A
And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades
      E                 C#m         A
It's okay, and when my heart gives away
        E             C#m              A
It’s alright, I will never leave your side
    E             A         F#m  G#m  A
And oh when it's time, Just come find me
  F#m G#m A
