D standard tuning






G
Unwanted but breathing
In the next room sleeping
Em
My mother shes crying
And my fathers been drinking
G
In our rundown apartment
Where the roof is still leaking
Em
Hes cursing and cussing
Its just the whiskey talking

C                                 Em
And Ive got lots of memories like this one
C                                       G
Of empty days and nights spent tired and lonesome
Am
When I think back to all of it
C
Its all too much
Oh its all too much when youre just a little kid

G Em 

G
My little brother just a newborn baby
Em
In the image of my mother says hes a blessing
G
But not to my father oh how he hates him
Em
An undeserving mistake He calls him a burden

C                                 Em               
And Ive got lots of memories like this one
C                                      G
Of picking sides and picking fights between them
Am
When I think back to all of it
C
Well its all too much
Well its all too much when youre just a little kid

C         G              C              G
And when I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream
C       G               C                G
One that follows you and haunts you endlessly
C
Yeah haunts me endlessly

Well broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating
Em
The addiction and the lying and the promise of leaving
G
While my old man was a bastard I admired and loved him
Em
And us two kids we were born in to a family not a fortune no

G Em
G Em
G Em
