The Bland - Brother
Capo 5
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C
Brother my words are for you
D C D G
Though your eyes only looking in whichever way our mother told you was true
G C
I never talked you into
D C D G
Repeating that sentence I want you to say so badly, if you only knew
[Chorus]
G C Em Am D G
Ohh, you just sit and sigh
C Em Am D G
Say I live a lie
G D/F# Em D Am
You just say that I
C D
Am a little to old
G
To still come by
[Verse 2]
G C
Brother soon I'll see you again
D C D G
Cause I'm starting to think you're becoming afraid of the years hanging round you like chains
G C
Tell me what's left to explain
D C D G
When you're thinking of getting a housekeeping maid to protect your so shiny domain
[Chorus]
G C Em Am D G
Ohh, you just sit and sigh
C Em Am D G
Say I live a lie
G D/F# Em D Am
You just say that I
C D
Am a little to old
G
To still come by

[Verse 3]
G C
Brother I know that you do
D C D G
Want to be like the man in the flickering screen and all of the things he's into
G C
Why are you hiding in view
D C D G
Your smile is a shield which you firmly believe can let nobody outside break through
[Chorus]
G C Em Am D G
Ohh, you just sit and sigh
C Em Am D G
Say I live a lie
G D/F# Em D Am
You just say that I
C D
Am a little to old
G
To still ask why
