Chords with lyrics
C majorC
It just so happens I have many concerns
My brother's down the road and my lover in town
Fadd4*
They both need affection
C majorC
And some kind of love
Fadd4*
Well I'm the one who gives it at any given time
From two in the morning to six
C majorC
Call me up and cry
C majorC
My lover keeps it secret that we meet under covers
When asked by her man if we two are lovers
Fadd4*
She says, "I hardly know him.
C majorC
Besides, he's not my type."
Fadd4*
Her man's a policeman with a keen sense of trouble
He's known to spot danger
C majorC
And all kinds of liars
C majorC
My brother called this morning in a terrible panic
Spies in the closet, bugs in the attic
Fadd4*
He screams bloody murder saying,
C majorC
"We're all gonna die."
Fadd4*
And death is upon me, I know 'cause he showed me
C majorC
Pictures of graveyards and us underneath.
Fadd4*
I'm losing my hearing from my brother screaming,
"They're coming to get me.
C majorC
Can someone call the police?"
C majorC
Two in the morning, the phone disconnected
Her man knows I'm calling, it's what I expected
Fadd4* C majorC
A augmentedA note on my backdoor saying, "Baby, not tonight."
Fadd4*
So I sit with my brother who is nursing a cut wrist
He's mumbling "Forgive me."
C majorC
And "Don't let them take me away."
Fadd4*
I can be a good boy and stay out of trouble
Jackie I love you and
C majorC
Don't let them take your brother
C majorC
Strapped to a table, go in the electrodes
"Jackie come save me the doctors will kill me."
Fadd4*
No, they're here to help you
C majorC
Straighten out your mind."
Fadd4*
The TV is blaring with some preacher saying that
C majorC
God is among us and he hears our cries
Fadd4*
Lord, do me a favor
It's wrong but I ask you
C majorC
Take my brother's life
Fadd4*
'Cause he's sick of the suffering
The pills he's inhaling
The cross he is bearing
C majorC
That is his troubled mind
