Normal Tuning

Am
I had a brother once
G
He drowned in a bathtub
F                                    E          Am
before he'd ever learned how to talk
                  G
And I don't know what his name was
F
but my mother does
E
I heard her say it once
Am
Padraic my prince, I have all but died
G
From the sheer weight of my shame
F
You cried but no one came
E
And the water filled your tiny lungs
Am
Appear, my dear, and cry for me
G
Six years ago today
F
That I laid you in your grave
E
Your sweet young skin was shining then too
Am                                F
So tonight to celebrate i will...
        G
I will poison myself
Am                                                F
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom
           G
That is spinning
      C             G
So I close the door
         Am                                
And I rest my head on the tile floor
C                  G                         Am
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
C                G
I'm still not sure
                     Am                               F
Is there some better place I could be heading towards?
C                           G                   Am            
Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbed...
Am        
Are welcome
Am
I saw the future once
G
I was drunk in a phone booth
F
My eyes were wet and red
E                                          Am
But I could not tell what was said
                          G
And through the screams of the traffic
F
Voices carried
E
Saying I'm sorry
Am
On a day so gray it's black inside
G
Watching churches on TV
F
In a coma you don't dream
E
You just hope that someone sits with you
Am
Babies turn blue when they're ignored
G
Like the sky on summer days
F
Before you turn and walk away
E
It has changed you
Am                                     F
So tonight to compensate I will...
        G
I will poison myself
Am                                                F
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom
           G
That is spinning

Am  E

Good Song.
Listen to song for strumming, it's pretty easy...
Have fun.
