The Bricklayers Son

[Verse 1]
C
Oh, this is what I've become
                      Am
I am the bricklayer's son
F                 C
Born at the wrong time

C
Oh, the weight, it leads me astray
                        Am
But I will not stand in your way
             F        C
If you don't stand in mine

   C
My mind, it moved like mercury
                       Am
Through the thin plasticine
        F             C
Of your heart's circuitry

   C
Oh well, at least it did until
                         Am
A whole damn mountain of pills
F      C
Buried me

[Chorus]
      G          C        F
But I won't come back you see
      G          C       F
Don't take it so personally
          G        C       F   C
It's just when you look at me
         C      G/B    C    F
I see it bright as the sun, oh
   C        G      C
My failures all at once

[Verse 2]
   C
So now, now I live with a girl
                   Am
At the edge of the world
        F          C
She's a bricklayer too

C
Oh, I loved her right from the start
                       Am
When she ripped out my heart
    F             C
She reminds me of you

[Chorus]
      G          C        F
But I won't come back you see
      G          C       F
Don't take it so personally
          G        C       F   C
It's just when you look at me
         C      G/B    C    F
I see it bright as the sun, oh
   C        G      C
My failures all at once

C
Oh, this is what I've become
                      Am
I am the bricklayer's son
            F          C
But I'm not wasting my time

C
Oh, the weight, it leads me astray
                        Am
But I will not stand in your way
             F        C
If you don't stand in mine
