Emily White - My Brother And I
## NOTE: ~ ~ ~ = Walk-Down from F to Am ##
INTRO: F ~ ~ ~ Am
C
My brother and I, we grew up in a war
D F
In our shell-shocked living room, we knelt to the floor
Am C
We prayed for a saviour who would keep us from the heat
D F ~ ~ Am Asus2 Am
As the bombs flew around with no sign of defeat
N.C. Am C
He would tell me bedtime stories and I'd sing him Easter songs
D F
And we both knew the truth, we both played along
Am C
Our mother, she tried to keep us out of harm's way
D F ~ ~ ~ Am Asus2 Am
But it's a hard thing when harm eats at your table everyday
CHORUS:
Am Em Em7 C Am
We___ were the same
Em Em7 C
He had the cuts and I felt the shame
Am Em Em7 C Am Em Em7 C
Oh, we___ were the same
Am Em C D F ~ ~ ~
My brother and I, ye-ah
Am C
He learned to escape in any way that he could
D F
And we both moved out of that neighbourhood
Am C
There are two sides to every story of growing up
D F ~ ~ ~ Am Asus2 Am
And when he shielded me, I was holding him up
N.C. Am C D
There were two children who survived on that street, yeah
F ~ ~ ~ Am
And his head dreamt my dreams, my heart pounded his beat, and
C
And three years ago, I thought nothing could save me
D F ~ ~ ~ Am Asus2 Am
I, I buried half my memory, I called myself crazy
CHORUS:

Am C
So, tell me a story of a, a family of four
D F Am
And the mom loves the dad and the dad loves her more
C
Colour it in with crayon, make it beautiful and bright
D F ~ ~ ~ Am Asus2 Am
I swear I'll believe whatever you tell me tonight
