Well I came from a broken home
Cm Cm
My mamma had a broken heart
Cm Cm
And even though she tried to fight it
N.C.
It was broken from the start

My daddy had a problem
Cm Cm
But he always seemed to find himself a drink
Cm Cm
And when he finally hit rock bottom
Cm N.C.
Well we didn't know how low he'd sink

My family has a record
Fm Cm
That's as long as your arm
Cm Fm
And I don't want you to read it
Fm G
'Cause it's gonna do us harm
[Chorus]
G Cm Cm
I keep it locked away somewhere, I know
Fm Fm
In a cellar that I call my youth
Cm
It's my criminal record
G N.C.
It's the truth

It's all there in the records

Every move is written down
Cm Cm
I got it tied around my neck now

One day I'm gonna drown
Cm Cm
And I stood on a mountain
Cm Cm
And I wondered when I'd fall
Cm Cm
It was always right behind me
N.C.
Yeah the writing's on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]

And you can stand me up, against the wall
Eb F
With the lines behind my head
Ab Cm
You can point your finger at me in a lineup

Screamin' that you want me dead
