[Verse 1]

G                Am           F
 I saw some old friends as I came to the city gate
Fm               C          F      G
 They asked me where I'd been of late
G                 Am         Em                F    C
 I hadn't been anywhere but what was I going to say
                F                       G
 Two hopeful people looking at me that way


[Chorus]
                 C
 You and your brother
      F
 You both escaped the curse
       C          G              C
 You can't comprehend what it's like


[Verse 2]
G                   Am                                F
 We stood in the sunlight and they asked me where I'd been
Fm                      C          F     G
 Held the gate open - told me to come on in
G                      Am       Em                 F     C
 I saw the damp green grass so nice on the other side
                    F          G
 Couldn't explain myself to them but I tried


[Chorus]
                 C
 You and your brother
      F
 You both escaped the curse
       C          G              C
 You can't comprehend what it's like

[Verse 3]
G                     Am         F
Ground was dry but giving, the sky was nearly black
Fm               C             F      G
Saw some old friends when I looked back
G                  Am    Em               F  C
 Remember my old home, haven't forgotten yet
           F           G
 What happens on the day when I forget



[Chorus]
                 C
 You and your brother
      F
 You both escaped the curse
       C          G              C
 You can't comprehend what it's like
