Key: D
Introduction:
D
Brother, my brother
D G Asus4A
I watched you give so much away
D
And I cried when you stop lookin' forward
Em Em7 Asus4A
And started to stray
G D Bm Asus4A
Like an empty canvas hangin' on the wall
G
You're not sure what to show them
D Asus4A
So you show them nothing at all
Pre-Chorus
Bm A
'Cause you're supposed to be strong, supposed to be brave
G Em
'Cause that's the way someone I love should behave
Bm A
You're supposed to be you and not somebody else
G Em Em7
'Cause I've always known more about you than myself
Bb A4 A
It's hard facing the truth
Bb A
And embracing all the saints of my youth
D
Heavenly sister
A G Asus4A
There's nobody safe from your charms
D
And all the hearts in your wake
D Em Em7 A4 A
As lost as the babe in your arms
G D
You can line them up and knock them over
Bm A4 A
One by one
G
But you won't find your happiness
A A4 A
In the warmth of a gun
Pre-Chorus
Bm A
You're supposed to be patient, supposed to be true
G Em
'Cause that's what I've always expected from you
Bm A
You're supposed to be you and not somebody else
G Em Em7Em
'Cause I've always known more about you than myself
Bb A4 A
It's hard facing the truth
Bb A4
And embracing all the saints of my youth
D A G A4 A
Father, forgive me for some of the things that I've done
D Em Em7 Asus4A
And in turn I'll forgive you for losing the faith of a son
G D Bm Asus4A
Like a lonely beacon burning in the night
G
I still know that you're out there
A Asus4A
Somewhere just out of sight
Pre-Chorus
Bm A
'Cause you're supposed to be loving, courageous and wise
G Em
'Cause that's what I see when I look in your eyes
Bm A
You're supposed to be you and not anyone else
G Em Em7 Em
'Cause I trusted you more that I trusted myself
OUTRO
Bb A4 A
It's hard facing the truth
Bb A4 A
Hard facing the truth
Bb A4 A
It's hard facing the truth
Bb A4
And embracing all the saints of my youth
