[Intro] F C G G C F F C G G C F [Verse 1]
                  Am
We were like brothers

                              G
Everybody said we looked the same

              C                        F
You a little taller, and broader, and bolder

                       Am
We were afraid of your mother

                              G
Hell, she used to hit you so hard

          C
And your dad took off when you were a baby

     F                                     Am
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

                                Am
Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell

                         G
Never did, and I never will

                      C
That house was living hell
F C G G C F F C G G C F [Verse 2]
               Am                       G
I remembеr my mother when she found a nеw man

           C
And your mother thought she found a partner

     F                                    Am
A father for you, no wonder you can't stand me

           G
I can't stand me, too

          F
I can't stand me, too

               Am                          G
Oh, your great mother repaired the anger in me

          C
Spoke to me like I was an adult

  F                                      Am
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]
 F   G  C   G   F
See her in the night

 F      G  C   G   F
In the corner of my eye

  F   G  C   G   F
And I see her in the night
F C G G C F F C G G C F [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

         C                               G
Well we ain't, 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

        Am                            F
Your eyes the door to hell and all within
