VERSE 1
G/B - -
Unwanted, but breathing in the next room, sleeping
(D/F#) Em7 - -
My mother, she’s crying and my father’s been drinking
(D/F#) G/B - -
In our run-down apartment where the roof is still leaking
(D/F#) Em7 - -
He’s cursing and cussing it’s just the whiskey talking
CHORUS
(Em7) Cadd9 - (Cadd9) Em7 -
And I’ve got lots of memories like this one
(Em7) Cadd9 - (Cadd9) Em7 -
Of empty days and nights spent tired and lonesome
(Em7) A2/Dsus -
When I think back… to all of it
A2/Dsus - - - -
It’s all too much oh it’s all too much when you’re just a little kid
INTRO (x1)
VERSE 2
G/B - -
My little brother, just a newborn baby I
(D/F#) Em7 - -
In the image of my mother, says he’s a blessing
(D/F#) G/B - -
But not to my father, oh how he hates him
(D/F#) Em7 - -
“An undeserving mistake,” He calls him a burden
CHORUS
(Em7) Cadd9 - (Cadd9) Em7 -
And I’ve got lots of memories like this one
(Em7) Cadd9 - ( Cadd9) Em7 -
Of picking sides and picking fights between them

When I think back… to all of it
A2/Dsus - - - -
It’s all too much oh it’s all too much when you’re just a little kid

And when I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream
A2/Dsus Em7 Cadd9
One that follows you and haunts you endlessly
Cadd9 G/B
Yeah, haunts me endlessly
VERSE 3
G/B - -
Well, broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating
(D/F#) Em7 - -
The addiction, and the lying and the promise of leaving
(D/F#) G/B - -
While my old man was a bastard, I admired and loved him
(D/F#) Em7 - -
And us two kids, we were born in to a family, not a fortune, oh
