[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
[Bridge]
F G C G F
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
