C            D
Hey brother, happy returns
             Em
It's been a while now
                      C
I bet you thought that I was dead
C                   D
But I'm still here, nothing?s changed
           Em
nothing?s changed

C                D
Hey brother, I'd love to tell you
I've been busy
    Em
But that would be a lie
C
?Cause the truth is
    D
The years just pass like trains
  Em                          C
I wave but they don't slow down
              D
They don't slow down


C         Am
too-do-do-do
      D
Do-do do-do-do

C                      D
Hey brother, I see the freaks
                      Em
Dispossessed on day release
               C
Avoiding the police

C                         D
I feel I'm falling once again
                                      Em
But now there?s no one left to catch me

C                       D
Hey brother, I feel I'm living in parentheses
             Em
And I've got trouble with the bills
       C
Do the kids remember me?

C
Well I got gifts for them
D
And for you more sorrow
        Em
But I'm feeling kind of drowsy now
        C
So I'll finish this tomorrow
