Am (x02210@1)                         G (320003@1)              Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1)They twist all around him 'til he can't move

The booze turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem
 And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside
 I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot
 What is my friend trying to hide?

Dm (xx0231@1)Cause it's breaking my heart,

Dm (xx0231@1)                    Am (x02210@1)                     G (320003@1)And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain
Am (x02210@1)        E (022100@1)                             Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1)Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
Am (x02210@1)          E (022100@1)                     AmG
 When will my friend start singing again?
