C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)           Am (x02210@1)                   FPlayed (133211@1)a game in my younger life, a lot like twister but with a knife
C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)                Am (x02210@1)              FThrew (133211@1)the point into the ground to bend my brother's body round
C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)              Am (x02210@1)        FNo (133211@1)one bled and if they did, didn't cry
C (x32010@1)     G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)     FDon't (133211@1)recall a watchful eye
F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)                CI (x32010@1)think we led safer lives when we played around with knives

C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)           Am (x02210@1)             FLeft (133211@1)the house for hours on end, home to eat then back again
C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)                   Am (x02210@1)                  F (133211@1)Raced around the monkey trails with my back step breaks that never
failed
C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)  F (133211@1)        
I road through the woods alone, 
C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1)     F (133211@1)out of sight and far from home
F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)             CI (x32010@1)think I got the richer life on my rusted no speed bike

F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)         F (133211@1)
When patience broke and I was put from my room
  F (133211@1)            G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)         FI (133211@1)took it on the ass with the same wooden spoon
     F (133211@1)             GThat (320003@1)beat the cookie dough

C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)         Am (x02210@1)                 F (133211@1)    
No kid ever disappeared and if they did we'd never hear
C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)             Am (x02210@1)         F (133211@1)    
The sordid details of their deaths never landed on my doorstep
C (x32010@1)   G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)     
I was taught to be polite, 
C (x32010@1)   G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)    
how to eat and sit upright
    C (x32010@1)   G (320003@1)  Am (x02210@1)     F (133211@1)      
But I was left alone to fight,
C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)      F (133211@1)    
figure out if that felt right
F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)                CI (x32010@1)think we got the richer lives when we played around with knives
F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)                CI (x32010@1)think we led safer lives when we played around with knives
