C D
Hey brother, happy returns
Em
It’s been a while now
C
I bet you thought that I was dead
C D
But I’m still here, nothing’s changed
Em
nothing’s changed
C D
Hey brother, I’d love to tell you
I’ve been busy
Em
But that would be a lie
C
‘Cause the truth is
D
The years just pass like trains
Em C
I wave but they don’t slow down
D
They don’t slow down

C D
Hey brother, I see the freaks
Em
Dispossessed on day release
C
Avoiding the police
C D
I feel I’m falling once again
Em
But now there’s no one left to catch me
C D
Hey brother, I feel I’m living in parentheses
Em
And I've got trouble with the bills
C
Do the kids remember me?
C
Well I got gifts for them
D
And for you more sorrow
Em
But I’m feeling kind of drowsy now
C
So I’ll finish this tomorrow
