Brother,
Am7 D7
There's so much that I,

Am7 D7
You should know the world,
G7+
And all its ways,
E7/4 E7
So find your place.
Verse 2:
A7+
How do I find words,
Am7 D7
That do not condescend,
G7+ E7/4 E
When she bore you be-fore me?
A7+
'Cos she doesn't need a child;
Am7 D7
She needs a friend.
G7+ E7/4 E7
A son, not a sob sto-ry.
(Ooh, ooh, hoo).

Be the way we were.

She can't always be there,

Just to hold you down;

Our mother.

When you are at an age now,
D7 G7+
Where life turns a-round,
E7/4 E7
My brother.

A7+
Realize,
That you don't have to,
Am7 D7
Answer to no man,
G7+
Re-sponsibility,
E7/4 E7
Comes down to you.

But how can I,
Am7 D7
Expect you to understand,
G7+
When you live life,
E7/4 E7
Like you're so run through.
