But Breathing Chords by Defeater

_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] I'm wanted but breathing in the next room
[C] Sleeping [Dm] my mother.
She's crying and my father's been [C] drinking
[F] in our rundown
apartment where the roof is
Still [C] leaking [Dm] he's cursing and cursing
It's just the whiskey
Talking [Bb] and I got lots [Gm] of
[F] Memories like this one
[Bb] Of empty days and nights been [F] tired and lonesome
But [C] when [Gm] I think back
to all of it
Well, it's all too much
Well, it's [G] all too much when you're just a [F] little kid _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ my little brother
Just a newborn [C] baby
[Dm] image of my mother
Says he's a [C] blessing
[F] but not to
my father Oh how
He [C] hates him [Dm] an undeserving
Mistake he calls him a burden [Bb] and I got lots of
memories [F] like this one
[Bb] Of picking sides and [C] picking fights between [F] them
And [C] when I think back
[Dm] to all of it
[Gm] Well, it's all too much
Well, it's [Dm] all too much when you're just a [Bb] little kid
[F] When I wake up in the morning
It all feels like [Bb] a bad [F] dream
Well that follows [Dm] you and haunts you endlessly
[Bb] Yeah, haunts me [F] endlessly _ _ _
We're _ _ _ _ broken [Bb] and beaten
From abuse and [C] cheating
[D] the addiction and lying and the promise of
[C] Leaving [F] while the old man was a bastard.
I admire
And [C] loved him [Dm] and us two [F] kids.
We were born in to a family
not a fortune _ _ _
