Week 51, #songaweek2018. For my brother Jeremy, my one and only sibling, two years and four days younger than me - a cute kid, a lifelong friend, and a good man I'm honored to call family.

Life without you well I don’t really remember it
C       G
It’s like you’ve always been around
F   G      C
Climbing trees and making faces at me

F    C   Am   D
Little brother I once held you all inside my tiny arms
 F  G   C
But now I look up to you

We rode our big wheels in the trailer park
Played GI Joe and Barbie dolls
Super Breakout and Super Mario

Little brother I once crushed you playing football in the yard
But now I look up to you

You got the chicken pox and I was jealous
Until I got it worse than you
And while I suffered, you learned to ride a bike first

F       G
We played in puddles and danced to records
 Am     D
And explored the woods out back
F       G   C
I guess we were best of friends

And now we’re grownups with families of our own
We send our kids to cousin camp
and barely remember what life without them was like

Little brother I once bossed you all around in every way
But now I look up to you
