Sad routine
[Chorus]
C                             Am            D
    I've always known that I am second born

C                                 Am
    It's like a hand-me-down in a house, we live in mourning
[Verse 2]
Em                C                    G             D
    I will write a new song and I will sing it tonight

Em          C              G              D
    No one sings along but mom

It will be alright

    It's like a hand-me-down and I feel it when the threads are torn

C                        Am                D
    Leave it alone but I am a second born

C                                  Am
    I know what I've done, I don't need to be a firstborn son

Em              C                      G                D

Em           C                          G                D

We've just begun

    It's like a hand-me-down in a house, we live in mourning

C                        Am              D
    Leave it alone but I am second born
