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

FF C majorC G+G G MajorG C majorC FF
F C majorC G+G G MajorG C majorC FF

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

Bridge:
 FF  G+G C majorC  G+G  FF
See her in the night
 FF   G+G C majorC  G+G  FF
In the corner of my eye
 FF  G+G C majorC  G+G  FF
And I see her in the night

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

FF C majorC G+G G MajorG C majorC FF
F C majorC G+G G MajorG C majorC FF
