Verse 1:
             Am                          G
We were like brothers, Everybody said we looked the same
             C
You a little taller, and broader, and bolder, We were afraid of your
Am                                 G
mother, Hell, she used to hit you so hard
         C                                      F                                         Am
And your dad took off when you were a baby, And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
           G
You pin me to the ground
C                                          F
Eight years old with a replica gun pushin' in my skull, Saying you're gonna kill me
Am                          G
if I tell, Never did, and I never will
               C           F
That house was living hell      Come on

Verse 2:
              Am                      G
I remember my mother when she found a new man
         C
And your mother thought she found a partner,
                                      Am
A father for you, no wonder you can't stand me,
        G
I can't stand me, too
        C              F
I can't stand me, too
              Am                  G
Oh, your gone mother repaired the anger in me
C                                       F                              Am
Spoke to me like I was an adult, Didn't take sides and didn't turn me against my dad
         G                           F
Then she took those pills and now she's gone


Bridge:
F   G   Am C   Dm
See her in the night
       F  G   Am C  Dm
In the corner of my eye
      F   G   Am C   Dm    F
And I see her in the night

Verse 3:
                    C                        G
Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
                    Am                  F
Some naughty family boys are after you
                     C                        G
You pinned me to the wall and said my mother
             Am                     F
Stole your inheritance from you, oh yeah?
               C                 G
We ain't got a penny between us
                Am                   F
Holding up this tin that we live in
                     C                          G
You pinned me to the wall and smashed a bottle
                      F
Your eyes the door to hell and all within
