Fadd9 C* G  G Am F  x4


Verse 1:
       Am             G
We were like brothers, Everybody said we looked the same
       C
You a little taller, and broader, and bolder, We were afraid of your
Am                 G
mother, Hell, she used to hit you so hard
     C                   F                     Am
And your dad took off when you were a baby, And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
      G
You pin me to the ground
C                     F
Eight years old with a replica gun pushin' in my skull, Saying you're gonna kill me
Am             G
if I tell, Never did, and I never will
        C      F
That house was living hell   Come on

Verse 2:
       Am           G
I remember my mother when she found a new man
     C
And your mother thought she found a partner,
                   Am
A father for you, no wonder you can't stand me,
    G
I can't stand me, too
    C       F
I can't stand me, too
       Am         G
Oh, your gone mother repaired the anger in me
C                    F               Am
Spoke to me like I was an adult, Didn't take sides and didn't turn me against my dad
     G              F
Then she took those pills and now she's gone


Bridge:
F  G  Am C  Dm
See her in the night
    F G  Am C Dm
In the corner of my eye
   F  G  Am C  Dm  F
And I see her in the night


Instrumental:
Fadd9 C* G  G Am F  x4


Verse 3:
          C            G
Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
          Am         F
Some naughty family boys are after you
           C            G
You pinned me to the wall and said my mother
       Am           F
Stole your inheritance from you, oh yeah?
        C         G
We ain't got a penny between us
        Am          F
Holding up this tin that we live in
           C             G
You pinned me to the wall and smashed a bottle
           F
Your eyes the door to hell and all within
