[Verso 1]
 
            D 
We shared a room till I was six 
    G           D 
I'd look across my pillow 
    G             D 
Ask her if she was sleeping 
       A 
Try to keep her from her sleep 
         D                             G             D 
We had a picture on the wall of a baby angel in a golden crown 
         G            D              A         D 
When the world came tumbling down on me and Marie 
 


[Verso 2]
 
             D 
God knows we couldn't be more different 
           G                D 
The two of us cut from the same cloth 
          G              D 
Where one end must be velvet soft 
           A 
The other denim and gabardine 
        D 
We were Sunday morning church 
          G                   D 
Assigned seats at the dinner table 
            G                 D                        A          D 
Four older brothers raising a little bit of hell, then me and Marie 
 


[Refrão]
 
          Bm                          G 
She looks more like our mother, she's prettier and softer 
         D                                     A 
And she always helps me find my way, I've been lost a time or two 
          Bm                      G 
She knows bigger words than I do, we both got the same size shoes 
    D                                A        D 
And no one's ever walked in mine but me and Marie 
 


[Verso 3]
 
             D 
Marie turned 13 two weeks after 
      G                D 
daddy sat us down said your mama's died 
       G                D                   A 
And it took me years to realize she wasn't out getting groceries 
      D 
I was waiting on a resurrection 
      G          D 
Saved by my disposition 
                G              D 
Our grandfather crying in the kitchen 
                  A                  D 
Couldn't bear the sight of me and Marie 
 


[Refrão]
 
          Bm                          G 
She looks more like our mother, she's prettier and softer 
         D                                     A 
And she always helps me find my way, I've been lost a time or two 
          Bm                      G 
She knows bigger words than I do, we both got the same size shoes 
    D                                A        D 
And no one's ever walked in mine but me and Marie 
 


[Verso 4]
 
                D 
Well, our big brothers are a Godsend 
        G               D 
We grew up and married good men 
    G               D 
God blessed us all with children 
        A 
We're a pretty tight family 
         D 
The baby angel's framed in my writing room 
      G                 D 
And I stare at him some afternoons 
           G              D                    A            D 
He must've known he had a job to do, watching over me and Marie
