Brother, my brother
D G G Asus4 A
I watched you give so much away

And I cried when you stop lookin' forward

And started to stray

Like an empty canvas hangin' on the wall
G G
You're not sure what to show them
D Asus4 A
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

It's hard facing the truth
Bb A
And embracing all the saints of my youth

Heavenly sister

One by one

But you won't find your happiness

In the warmth of a gun

You're supposed to be patient, supposed to be true

I still know that you're out there

Somewhere just out of sight

'Cause I trusted you more that I trusted myself
