  Well I came from a broken home

C minorCm
My mamma had a broken heart

C minorCm
And even though she tried to fight it

N.C.
It was broken from the start

Verse:

  C minorCm
My daddy had a problem

And when he finally hit rock bottom

Well we didn't know how low he'd sink

Pre-Chorus:

  F minorFm
My family has a record

            C minorCm
That's as long as your arm

And I don't want you to read it

            G+G
'Cause it's gonna do us harm

Chorus:

     C minorCm
I keep it locked away somewhere, I know

In a cellar that I call my youth

It's my criminal record

N.C.
It's the truth

C minorCm
  It's all there in the records

C minorCm
Every move is written down

C minorCm
I got it tied around my neck now

N.C.
One day I'm gonna drown

   C minorCm
And I stood on a mountain

C minorCm
And I wondered when I'd fall

C minorCm
It was always right behind me

N.C.
Yeah the writing's on the wall
