Older Brother

(F)     (Dm)       (Am)         (C)
We both sat on our beds in the room,
(F)     (Dm)        (Am)        
And we talked about what was 
     (C)
coming soon.
(F)             (Dm)         
All that pink powder won't 
(Am)           (C)
cover up what we did,
(F)    (Dm)      (Am)        (C)
Doing wrong when we were just kids.


[Chorus 1]

                (Bb)             
And I think that you're the older 
  (F)           (Dm)  (C)
brother that I never had.
                (Bb)           (F)
I wish I could reach out and touch
            (Dm)          (C)
 you, don't worry I'm not sad.

                   (Bb)            
I know you're just where you want 
  (F)          (Dm)             
to be, and everyone's a hundred 
(C)
grand.
          (Bb)      (F)       
Save some space for me, and say 
   (Dm)         (C)
hello to your dad.


[Verse 2]

(F)         (Dm)       (Am)      
I will look after your sister, I 
  (C)
swear.
(F)                        (Dm)  
I'll write her when she's lonely 
       (Am)            (C)
and send it off in the air.
(F)    (Dm)      (Am)        (C)
I will keep her safe until I'm dead.
(F)                  (Dm)    
She'll always have a place to
(Am)      (C)
 rest her head.


[Chorus 2]

                  (Bb)           
You don't have to worry about it 
(F)                    (Dm)      
now, you don't have to live with 
      (C)
that frown
                  (Bb)             
I will hold your memory close to my
  (F)                     (Dm)
 chest, though I wish you hadn't 
said it
     (C)
was best.
                  (Bb)           
Couldn't you have stayed just one 
       (F)                 (Dm)
more night, for all of us to say 
     (C)
goodbye?
                  (Bb)          
But all of your troubles are now 
   (F)                (Dm)     
gone, and you still feel so damn 
     (C)
warm.
