Fadd9 C* G G Am F x4
[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
[Instrumental]
Fadd9 C* G G Am F x4
[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]

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
[Instrumental]
Fadd9 C* G G Am F x4
[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
[Outro]
