Aimee Mann – Brothers Keeper (Guitar)

C                                            F      Am
Ladies and gents, fold your tents, 'cause we have a winner

C                                     F     Am
Come see your Jane try to train every devil in her

        C                         F         Am
There's not a man alive who could tame this creature

           C                                    F         Am
You better leave the professor behind, see what time will teach her

    F                  G            C      F
And when we've all collected a spectacular sum

      F            G                 C        F
We'll get a little glimpse of the disaster to come

        Am           G
You can justify what happens then

       C                  F
'Cause how could you have known

          Am                     G
Leave the dust to dust and say "amen"

     C             F
Put "sorry" on the stone

       Am                     Em
You're not not your brother's keeper, now

     C                F
Your brother's on his own

Am         C       F                    Am
    That's how the seeds of avarice are sown

C                                           F      Am
Shit's just a trick and each week's full of compromises

C                                           F       Am
She'll push for a fish like a seal clapping for its prizes

        C                         F         Am
There's not a man alive who could wake this sleeper

            C                                             F      Am
Oh, tie the rope, hide the dope, sure there's hope, but denial's cheaper

    F                  G            C      F
And when we've all collected a spectacular sum

      F            G          C          F
We'll get a Holy Roller in to rattle the drum

        Am           G
You can justify what happens then

       C                  F
'Cause how could you have known

          Am                     G
Leave the dust to dust and say "amen"

     C             F
Put "sorry" on the stone

       Am                     Em
You're not not your brother's keeper, now

     C                F
Your brother's on his own

Am         C       F                    Am
    That's how the seeds of avarice are sown

    Em              Em        Am         Am      F   C
And after the fail, you can wail as they drag the river

Em                          Am                   F    C
Silence the band, wring the hand that you didn't give her

    F                             C
And every man alive has to sign a waiver

F        C                                       F        Am
To put a coin in the plate, so that fate won't return the favor

        Am          G
You can justify, oh yes you can

       C            F
You've got the microphone

          Am               G
Tell them dust is dust and men are men

    C           F
And men all act alone

       Am                 Em
You're not your brother's keeper, now

     C                F
Your brother's on his own

Am         C       F                    Am
    That's how the seeds of avarice are sown

C       F
How the seeds of avarice are sown
