Key: Em Intro: Em G C B Verse 1: Em Uh, I keep my ear to the door holding my brother close G He knows I love him most C My heart beating I can feel it from his fucking pulse B Seeing my mother rose, froze, love of something slows Em Woes, decompose, muddy clothes and a runny nose Flows, we're shivering, she mistakes it for giggling G Mother quivering hopping out the seat that she's sitting in C Living in the last few weeks keeping it diligent B7 It's calm under my arm I be popping the Ritalin Em To keep it smooth G Self-medicating to keep me loose C I needed proof, needed see it to believe it's true I needed you but you're the one that I was grieving to B7 And now you're leaving Em Deep in the evening that we were sleeping through G So what are we to do but move with the setting sun C Uh, you know I love you like a second mum Love you for better from, now 'til whenever B7 Em Want the family together I promise you 'imma get it done

Chorus: G Trust, 'cos all I wanted was a fucking man C To tell the fucking truth, hold my fucking hand Uh, to guide me through the darkness when the others ran B Em Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand G I didn't understand-stand, didn't understand C Uh, now every time that motherfucker ran B I didn't understand-stand, didn't understand Verse 2: Em Uh, 'cos every afternoon after school G Or at 5:30 if it was after basketball C They'd be waiting up at the gate with an article They picked up on the way down B And read it to me the second we were leaving the playground Em That grey sound never stop until we're forced to stop G C Corner shop, buying fruit and veg? Nah, of course we're not B Just a couple steady snacks for the journey heading back Em Full of the sugar so our teeth Yes of course they rot Sit for hours, sun, thunderstorm or showers G C In that same living room watching the bloom turn to flowers The night was ours, Superpowers and all B We were zapping out the window and watching the cowards fall Em Had it all Powerful, making me tower tall G C Bountiful from something so small So I'd rather take the fall and brawl B Before I drowned in what I found so cruel Em F G C Am Bridge: Em7 Sitting and sipping whiskey like my grandad did F G Trying to like the life that my grandad lived C 'Cos when the black man slipped into the darkness And the black man dipped Am It didn't matter, had that love I left my grandad with Em Sip brandy like my grandma do G Trying to like the life that my nan told true C 'Cos if I run from you she'd hold my hands Until my hands turn blue B Em So I pursue the new, thinking 'bout the man they grew, because Chorus: G Trust, 'cos all I wanted was a fucking man C To tell the fucking truth, hold my fucking hand Uh, to guide me through the darkness when the others ran B Em Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand G I didn't understand-stand, didn't understand C Uh, now every time that motherfucker ran B I didn't understand-stand, didn't understand Em Uh, now believe me I need a fucking man G Trust, 'cos all I wanted was a fucking man C To tell the fucking truth, hold my fucking hand Uh, to guide me through the darkness when the others ran B Em Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand G I didn't understand-stand, didn't understand C Uh, now every time that motherfucker ran B I didn't understand-stand, didn't understand Now believe me I need a fucking man
