Verse 1:
Gadd2

                     A5/G D/F#  C/E
In the quiet time of evening,
                            G/D C      Gadd2
When the stars assume their patterns
                         D/F# Em Dmaj7    Cmaj9
And the day has made his journey,
                          C/D
And we wondered just what happened
       Cmaj7                    Am7   Bm7
To the life we knew, before the world changed,
           Em               C#m7     Cmaj7
When not a thing I held was true.
                           C/D
But you were kind to me,
                        Gadd2
And you reminded me
                         A5/G   D/F#      C/E
That the world is not my playground;
                            G/D C      Gadd2
There are other things that matter;
                        D/F# Em Dmaj7     Cmaj9
And what is simple needs protecting.
                       C/D
My illusions all would shatter,
        Cmaj7
But you stayed
Bm7   Am7 Bm7
in my corner,
Em                               C#m7    Cmaj7
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# Em7  D   Cmaj7
You see the patterns in the big  sky;
                                          D  Em7
Those constellations look like you and I.
                              Bm7         C#mb5
Just like the patterns in the big sky,
                           A9
We could be lost; we could refuse to try
            Cmaj7           G/B    Am7  Bm7      Em
But to have made it through in the dark night,
                                       C#m7    Cmaj7
Who would those lucky guys turn out to be
                         Cmaj7/D
But that unusual blend
                       Gadd2   D/F#  Cmaj7
of my funny friend and me.


Verse 2:
Gadd2

                       A5/G      D/F#    C/E
I'm not as clever as I thought I was.
                          G/D Cadd2     Gadd2
I'm not the boy I used to be  because

You showed me something diff'rent.
        F#m7            C/E  D   Cmaj7
You showed me something pure.
                                      C/D
I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure.
        Cmaj7           Am7       Bm7
But you stayed, and you called my name
Em                                           C#m7    Cmaj7
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/D Ab/C  Bb6  Abmaj7
You see the patterns in the big  sky.
                                         Bb   Cm7
Those constellations look like you and I.
                         Cm/Bb        Abmaj7
That tiny planet and the bigger guy.
                                         Bb7sus  Fadd2
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
                              C/E Bb/D  C6   Bbmaj7
Just like the patterns in the big sky,
                                  Bb/C  C  Dm7
We'll be together 'til the end of time.
                             Dm/C         Bm7b5
Don't know the answer or the reason why.
                              G9
We'll stick together 'til the day we die.
Bbmaj9               Am7   Gm7    Am7    Dm7
If I have to do this all a second time,
                           Bm7     Bmaj7
I won't complain or make a fuss.
                           Bm7b5
Who would the angels send,
                         Bb/C
But that unlikely blend
                             Fadd2/C
Of these two funny friends?

That's us.
