And its so quiet in the world tonight

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room,
G                 D                     A
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home.
            G                        D
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said,
              A
And know your little brothers favourite songs.
G                    D            A
