F F C G
G Am F

[verse (1)]

Am
We were like brothers
G
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
And your dad took off when you were a baby
F Am
And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
G
You pin me to the ground
C
Eight years old with a replica gun
F
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

[instrumental x4]

F C G G Am F

[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
Spoke to me like i was an adult
F Am
Didn’t take sides and didn’t turn me against my dad
G F
Then she took those pills and now she’s gone

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 x4]

F C G G Am F

[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
