[Verse 1]
We were like [Am]brothers
Everybody said we look[G]ed the same
You a little [C]taller
and broader and bolder
We were afraid of your [Am]mother
Hell, she used to hit you [G]so hard
And your [C]dad took off when you were a baby
And [F]you still hate me for my dad stuck around
[Am]You pinned me to the groun[G]d
[C]Eight years old with a replica gun
Pushing [F]in my skull saying
You're gonna kill me [Am]if I tell
Never did and I [G]never will
That house was living [C]hell[F]

[Verse 2]
I remember my [Am]mother
When she found a [G]new man
And your [C]mo ther thought she found a partner
And father for you
No wonder you can't [Am]stand me
I can't [G]stand me too
I can't [C]stand me too
[F]Oh, your godmot[Am]her
repaired the an[G]ger in me
[C]Spoke to me like I was an adult
Didn't [F]take sides
and didn't turn me against [Am]my dad
Then she [G]took those pills
and now she's [F]gone

[Chorus 1]
[F]See [G]her [Am]in t[C]he n[Dm]ight

a [C]boy back in The Borders

[C]and said my mother
[G]Stole your inheritan[Am]ce from you
[F]Oh yeah? We ain't got a pen[C]ny between us
