[Verse 1]

Am       F              C
Brother, why'd you have to go?
Am       F     C
You left us so soon
Am            F            C    
Remember that song I wrote about
             G
 your family years ago?
Am                     F         
Well, they're waiting for you to 
      C
come home
Am            F             C   
What do I do, what do I say when
                 G
 dad tells me to pray
Am                     F         
So I prayed and prayed that the 
    C        G
hurt won't go away
       Am             F           C
The pain gets worse, it never stops
                        G
And I've asked the Lord for us to 
swap
Continues after the ad
Am                F            C
I begged him plea cuz you have kids 
to feed


[Chorus]

Am  F      C                G
Why is it always stormy weather?
Am       F       C             
And brother, tell me if it all gets 
G
better?
Am                 F
Why did you leave? Why did you die?
C                     G
You finally made your brother cry
Am           F               
I know you're watching over us 
 C      G
tonight
Am         F                      
And I hope you're watching over us 
 C
tonight


[Verse 2]

Am        F             C
I'm sorry I missed your call
Am       F         C
I wasn't there for you at all
Am        F                   C 
And now I thought it through, 
         G
maybe if I answered you
Am        F             C
You would still be here all along
Am                 F              
Now no more calls, can't you see? 
C                       G
I took for granted family
Am                     F         
And once they're gone, you'll 
            C      G
never get that back
Am              F             C
No more laughs, no more hugs
              G
So hold on to the ones you love
Am                 F        
Your soul is free, I love you, 
   C
Anthony!


[Chorus]

Am  F      C                G
Why is it always stormy weather?
Am       F       C             
And brother, tell me if it all gets 
G
better?
Am                 F
Why did you leave? Why did you die?
C                     G
You finally made your brother cry
Am                        F      
I know you're watching over from 
      C      G
above
Am         F                    C
So hold on to the ones you love
