When we were young
We were the ones the kings and queens
oh yeah we ruled the world
We smoked cigarettes, man no regrets
wish I could re live every single word

We've taken different paths
and travelled different roads
I know we'll always end up on the same one
when we're old
And when we're in the trenches
and you're under fire I will cover you

If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs
so you could breathe

I've got you brother
I've got you brother
I've got you brother
I've got you brother

Oh brother we go deeper than the ink
beneath the skin of our tattoos
No we don't share the same blood
You're my brother and I love you
that's the truth

We're living different lives, heaven only knows
If we'll make it back
with all our fingers and our toes
Five years, twenty years come back
we'll always be the same

If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs
so you could breathe

I've got you brother
I've got you brother
I've got you brother
I've got you brother

And if we hit on troubled water
I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe
And we'll be carrying each other
Until we say goodbye on our dying day

Because I've got you brother
I've got you brother
I've got you brother
I've got you brother

If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I'd give you my lungs
so you could breathe

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh x 2
