[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

[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

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

[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
