Long Lost Brother – Over the Rhine

Capo 2

Verse 1:

 D MajorD                   A augmentedA
I thought that we'd be further along by now
        F#F#            G+G
I can't remember how we stumbled to this place
D MajorD
I loved you like a long lost brother
   A augmentedA                 F#F#
ON a bad day maybe I thought why bother
                  G+G
I've seldom seen so much anger in a face

Chorus:
      D MajorD          A augmentedA
I wanna do better, I wanna try harder
    F#F#         G+G
I wanna believe down to the letter
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Jesus and Mary can you carry us
      F#F#           G+G
Across this ocean into the arms of forgiveness

Verse 2:
D MajorD
I don't mean to laugh out loud
A augmentedA
I'm trying to come clean trying to shed my doubt
F#F#                    G+G
Or maybe I should just keep my big mouth shut
D MajorD
More often than not when it comes to you
A augmentedA
You want whatever's not in front of you
F#F#                G+G
Deep down I know this includes me too

Chorus:
      D MajorD          A augmentedA
I wanna do better, I wanna try harder
    F#F#         G+G
I wanna believe down to the letter
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Jesus and Mary can you carry us
      F#F#           G+G
Across this ocean into the arms of forgiveness

Verse 3:
  D MajorD
So tell me your troubles let your pain rain down
A augmentedA
I know my job, I've been around
F#F#                  G+G
I invest in this mess, I'm a low cost dumping ground
D MajorD
Trouble is I'm so exausted
A augmentedA
The plot, you see, I think I've lost it
F#F#                   G+G
I need the grace to find what can't be found

Chorus:
      D MajorD          A augmentedA
I wanna do better, I wanna try harder
    F#F#         G+G
I wanna believe down to the letter
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Jesus and Mary can you carry us
      F#F#           G+G
