Verse 1:
Gadd2

           A5/G D/F#D/F# C/EC/E
In the quiet time of evening,
              G/DG/D C majorC   Gadd2
When the stars assume their patterns
             D/F#D/F# E minorEm Dmaj7Dmaj7  CMaj9Cmaj9
And the day has made his journey,
             C/DC/D
And we wondered just what happened
    Cmaj7Cmaj7          Am7Am7  Bm7Bm7
To the life we knew, before the world changed,
      E minorEm        C#m7C#m7   Cmaj7Cmaj7
When not a thing I held was true.
              C/DC/D
But you were kind to me,
            Gadd2
And you reminded me
             A5/G  D/F#D/F#   C/EC/E
That the world is not my playground;
              G/DG/D C majorC   Gadd2
There are other things that matter;
            D/F#D/F# E minorEm Dmaj7Dmaj7   CMaj9Cmaj9
And what is simple needs protecting.
            C/DC/D
My illusions all would shatter,
    Cmaj7Cmaj7
But you stayed
Bm7Bm7  Am7Am7 Bm7Bm7
in my corner,
E minorEm                C#m7C#m7  Cmaj7Cmaj7
The only world I knew was upside down,
              Cmaj7/D
And now the world and me

will know you carried me.


Chorus:
Gadd2

              D/F#D/F# E minor 7Em7 D MajorD  Cmaj7Cmaj7
You see the patterns in the big sky;
                     D MajorD E minor 7Em7
Those constellations look like you and I.
               Bm7Bm7     C#mb5
Just like the patterns in the big sky,
              A9A9
We could be lost; we could refuse to try
      Cmaj7Cmaj7      G/BG/B  Am7Am7 Bm7Bm7   E minorEm
But to have made it through in the dark night,
                    C#m7C#m7  Cmaj7Cmaj7
Who would those lucky guys turn out to be
             Cmaj7/D
But that unusual blend
            Gadd2  D/F#D/F# Cmaj7Cmaj7
of my funny friend and me.

Verse 2:
Gadd2

            A5/G   D/F#D/F#  C/EC/E
I'm not as clever as I thought I was.
             G/DG/D Cadd2Cadd2   Gadd2
I'm not the boy I used to be because

You showed me something diff'rent.
    F#m7F#m7      C/EC/E D MajorD  Cmaj7Cmaj7
You showed me something pure.
                   C/DC/D
I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.
    Cmaj7Cmaj7      Am7Am7    Bm7Bm7
But you stayed, and you called my name
E minorEm                      C#m7C#m7  Cmaj7Cmaj7
When others would have walked out on a lousy game.
                Cmaj7/D
And look who made it through
             Ebadd2
But your funny friend and you.


Chorus:
              Bb/DBb/D Ab/C Bb6Bb6 Abmaj7Abmaj7
You see the patterns in the big sky.
                     Bb majorBb  Cm7Cm7
Those constellations look like you and I.
             Cm/BbCm/Bb    Abmaj7Abmaj7
That tiny planet and the bigger guy.
                     Bb7susBb7sus Fadd2
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
               C/EC/E Bb/DBb/D C6C6  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Just like the patterns in the big sky,
                 Bb/CBb/C C majorC Dm7Dm7
We'll be together 'til the end of time.
               Dm/C     Bm7b5 Bm7b5
Don't know the answer or the reason why.
               G9G9
We'll stick together 'til the day we die.
BbMaj9Bbmaj9        Am7Am7  Gm7Gm7  Am7Am7  Dm7Dm7
If I have to do this all a second time,
              Bm7Bm7   BMaj7Bmaj7
I won't complain or make a fuss.
              Bm7b5 Bm7b5
Who would the angels send,
             Bb/CBb/C
But that unlikely blend
               Fadd2/C
Of these two funny friends?

That's us.
