Verse:

Cm
    Well I came from a broken home

My mamma had a broken heart

And even though she tried to fight it

N.C.
It was broken from the start

Verse:

   Cm
My daddy had a problem

Cm
But he always seemed to find himself a drink

And when he finally hit rock bottom

Cm             N.C.
Well we didn't know how low he'd sink

Pre-Chorus:

   Fm
My family has a record

                       Cm
That's as long as your arm

            Fm
And I don't want you to read it

                        G
'Cause it's gonna do us harm

Chorus:

          Cm
I keep it locked away somewhere, I know

     Fm
In a cellar that I call my youth

        Cm              G
It's my criminal record

N.C.
It's the truth

Interlude:
|Cm   |Cm   |Cm   |

Verse:

Cm
    It's all there in the records

Cm
Every move is written down

Cm
I got it tied around my neck now

N.C.
One day I'm gonna drown


      Cm
And I stood on a mountain

Cm
And I wondered when I'd fall

Cm
It was always right behind me

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

Pre-Chorus:

   Fm
My family has a record

Eb              Cm            G
    And you can stand me up, against the wall

         Eb              F
With the lines behind my head
