[Intro: ]E           From Tab Benoit "Brother to the Blues" CD 

 E                B  
People tell you, what you need.   
 A             G    E  
It's a lesson, in defeat.  
 E              B    
Got to bother, got you down.  
 A                G       E  
Not so sure you, want me around.  


[Refrão]
 E      G  
I'm on your side.  
 A                      E  
You don't even have to read my mind.  
 E      G  
I'm on your side.  
 A                       E  
Talk about 'em all back home.  

 E                  B  
Folks who come to, your defence.  
 A                   G        E 
Would not laugh at, your expence.  
 E              B  
Got to bother, got you down.  
 A                G        E  
Not so sure you, want me around.  

Say....

 E               B  
It's not easy, sufferin' fool.  
 A                  G       E  
Grown-up children, can be cruel.  

You know...
