These chords are just about 100% accurate. I determined them by watching multiple videos
of GBS performing this song live.
Intro:
D A G x2
Verse 1:
D Her brother can be difficult A A blessing and a curse G But a livin' life without one
Is somethin' far worse
D Together in fraternity A A sentence set for life G Laced with petty rivalries D A And ready for a fight
Verse 2:
Together in fraternity
A sentence set for life
Laced with petty rivalries
And ready for a fight
Verse 3:
When nothing's ever left unsaid
The battle lines are drawn
Promises are broken
Attack again at dawn
Verse 4:
Weapons drawn and ready
And who will fire first
Hands strong and steady
Hit exactly where it hurts
Chorus:
G D But you never lead a love so rare G D A You never lead a love so long Em7/B G/F# G Remember that the life we share A Is nothin' but a song
Verse 5:
So you put on a happy face
For everybody new
But the closest to your heart
So rarely get the best of you
Verse 6:
A moment's contradiction
And the bickering's begun
Daughters after mothers
And fathers on their sons
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Bm A G Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh (x4)
(Chorus)
Outro:
D A G (x2)
Bm A G
