Intro C F G Am C G F



Verse:
Am                               C
I know you’re up there watching down on me
F                                G
See me losing touch of reality
Am                         C
My days are full of insignificance
      F                                 G7               G
Oh brother you never felt real love or romance

Verse:

Am                        C   
 
from this day on I swear I will change

F                                        G

And be the best that I can nothings outta my range

Am                                                   C

Cos I have been dragged down and so low

            F                               G7         G

Oh my brother why did you have to go

Chorus:

C                                                Am

Way above the clouds were the eagles dare

F                                        G7

I can feel your heartbeat I know your still there

C                                              Am

Watching down on us making sure we are safe

      F                                     G

Oh brother i wish you were still part of the race
   
{same chord progression till the end}
Verse:

This life I live is no good and leaves me numb
Maybe someday the peaceful feeling will come
Nobody knows the demons I battle through
Oh brother it’s all because of you

Verse:

To blame is a shame when I know it’s not your doing
I cannot help these thoughts that are brewing
Mothers soldiering on and trying to cope
With god above taking her life her love her hope

Chorus:

Way above the clouds were the eagles dare
I can feel your heartbeat I know your still there
Watching down on us all making sure we are safe
Oh brother i wish you were still part of the race

Verse:

Daddies boozing it was of his own choosing
And someone had to take his beating and abusing
He failed the test said he was doing his best
Oh brother am gonna get me some rest with you now

Way above the clouds were the eagles dare
I can feel your heartbeat I know your still there
Watching down on us all making sure we are safe
Oh brother i wish you were still part of the race
