[Eb] [Ebm] My mother [D] had a brother
[Bbm] They say [Gb] that I was [B] born on the day that he [Eb] died
[Ebm] [Bb] Someone to cling [D] to [Bbm] she said when all [Ebm] the noise [B] and the [Gb] shame came [Eb] calling
[Ebm] My mother [Bb] had a [D] brother.
[Bbm] I [Gb] thought I knew them [B] all
I thought I knew
[Eb] But she [Ebm] lied [Bb] I said [D] show me his [Gb] face again
Tell [B] me [Ebm] again why he [B] died
[Gb] She said he couldn't [Bbm] wait for [Gb] the things that I've [B] seen
She said he [Db] wasn't strong enough.
[Gb] He never [Abm] dared to dream
[Ebm] a [Gb] life [B] like mine
My
[Eb] [Ebm] mother [Bb] had a brother
[Gb] Oversensitive and [B] kind
[Eb]
[Ebm] Seems it [D] all became much [Db] too much [Gb] for him
[B] It seems he took his [Ebm] own life
[D] Mom, I can't imagine [Bbm] the joy [Ebm] and pain
[B] in equal [Eb] [Ebm] measure
[Bb]
[Bbm] Tears in the dirt
[Gb]
[B] And all over your newborn [Gb] treasure
I guess he [Bbm] had to wait till [Gb] my mama had [B] me
Yes, he [Db] couldn't wait another [Gb] moment to be free [Bbm] in
[Gb] endless [B] sky
But
[Bbm] mama, will you tell him from [Abm] your boy
The times [Bbm] they changed I guess the world was getting [Fm] warmer
And we got stronger
[Bbm] Mother will you tell [Gb] him?
[Abm] about my joy
I lived each [Gb] day [Bbm] for him
The sun came [Fm] out
[Db]
[Abm] I'm just breathing
[Ebm]
[Bb] My [Bbm]
[Gb] [B] mother [Ebm] [Bb]
[Bbm] [Gb]
[B] [Ebm]
[D] had a brother
[Bbm] same [Gb] desire different
[B]
[Db] [Ebm] Seems
[Bb] the empty [Bbm] space has [Ebm] tortured him
[B] Until he took his own [Gb] life
I [Bbm] don't know why I [Gb] waited so [B] long for her.
I just [Db] don't know what [Gb] I was [Ab] [Gb] thinking of all [Bbm] that
[Gb] wasted [B] time
[Bbm] But mama, will you tell him [Gb] from [Abm] your boy
The times [Bbm] they changed
I guess the world was [Fm] getting warmer
[Ab]
[Fm] But we got stronger
[Bbm]

[Ebm]
[Bb]
Fear [Gb] you gotta make them [B] sure
That I'm bad [Ebm]
to [Bb] the bone
Just a [Bbm] little stone
[Gb] Making [B] so much
I [Ebm] was a prisoner
[Bb] But he stayed
[Db] Broke into [Gb] my dreams and said who [B] cares?
I [Ebm] was a prisoner
So [Bb] disgrace me
[Gb] I'm glad to be home [B] and I don't believe [Ebm] They care
