Intro: Am F C
(Verse 1)
[Am]Brother, [F]why'd you have [C]to go?
[Am]You left [F]us so [C]soon
[Am]Remember that [F]song I wrote [C]about your family [G]years ago?
[Am]Well, they're waiting f[F]or you to come h[C]ome
[Am]What do I do, [F]what do I say [C]when dad tells me to [G]pray
[Am]So I prayed and prayed [F]that the hurt [C]won't go [G]away
The pai[Am]n gets worse, i[F]t never stop[C]s
And I've asked the Lord [G]for us to swap
[Am]I begged him plea [F]cuz you have [C]kids to feed
(Chorus)
[Am]Why [F]is it a[C]lways stormy weat[G]her?
[Am]And broth[F]er, tell[C] me if it all [G]gets better?
[Am]Why did you leave? [F]Why did you die?
[C]You finally made your [G]brother cry
[Am]I know you're[F] watching over us[C] tonigh[G]t
[Am]And I hope [F]you're watching over us [C]tonight
(Verse 2)
[Am]I'm sorry [F]I missed your [C]call
[Am]I wasn't [F]there for [C]you at all
[Am]And now I [F]thought it through, [C]maybe if I [G]answered you
[Am]You would [F]still be here [C]all alone
[Am]Now no more calls, [F]can't you see? [C]I took for granted famil[G]y
[Am]And once they're gone, [F]you'll never get that [C]back[G]
[Am]No more laughs, [F]no more hugs[C]
So hold on to [G]the ones you love
[Am]Your soul is free, [F]I love you, [C]Anthony!
(Chorus)
[Am]Why [F]is it a[C]lways stormy weat[G]her?
[Am]And broth[F]er, tell[C] me if it all [G]gets better?
[Am]Why did you leave? [F]Why did you die?
