Brother

Intro 
D 



[Verso 1]
 
D            A 
Well, once I had a brother 
       G               C 
And we grew up looking out for each other 
        D                   A                 G 
When he fucked up, I did my best to cover his lies 
  D                                 A 
I hid him from the cops when he was a runaway 
        G                                  C 
Put him up when he was on the streets with no place to stay 
            D                 A                G 
And when he lied and stole, I looked the other way 
G 
Cause in time

       D                        A              G 
I knew   he would find a way to get his life together 
D                                 A            G 
  And we would be all right if we just stuck together 
D                       A       G 
  Somehow we would both make it through 
D                           A       G 
  Somehow we'd both make it through 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        D                 A 
Maybe I tried too hard to be a brother 
      G                                      C 
There comes a time when you gotta burn your bridges to discover 
D          A            G 
  What you really are inside 
D                                A 
I thought I knew my brother, but I was wrong 
G                              C 
Maybe I'd been lying to myself all along 
        D                      A                     G 
When he burned his bridges, he burned me at the same time

      D        D       D         D   D  D  D   D 
Well brother, brother, how could you be so hateful 
A     G 
so ungrateful 
      D D D D  D D  D D   A   G 
After all that we'd been through? 
    D                     A         G 
Someday you'll get what's coming to you 
    D                               A    G 
Someday you'll get what's coming to you 
 


[Verso 3]
 
             D                           A 
You stole my money, then my friends, and now my lover 
             G             C 
You say you treat everyone like a brother, 
         D                         A 
and it's true cause you screw over everyone 
    G 
The way that you screwed me 
         D                           A 
You're a tumor, a leech, a sore that won't go away 
          G                        C 
Leaving a path of discarded people in your wake 
          D                  A 
You're a thief, a thief who stole my trust 
               G 
And that's the worst thing you could take 
 


[Verso 4]
 
    D                   A 
But every underdog must have his day 
                             A    G 
So you'd better stay the hell out  of my way 
        D         A                 A   G 
'Cause this dog's day is coming soon 
     D                     A 
And this dog won't let bad feelings pass 
               A  G 
This dog wants grudges to last 
       D                A                  A   G 
Cause this dog won't forget how he was done     in

          D              A 
Well, you selfish little motherfucker 
  G                            C 
I hope I never live to see you hurt another 
      D                 A                      G 
Cause life you touch is life you smother, like mine 
    D                     A         G 
Someday you'll get what's coming to you 
    D                               A    G 
Someday you'll get what's coming to you
