My [Bb] mother had a brother, [Bbm] they say [Gb] that I was [B] born on [Ab] the day that [Eb] he died.
[Ebm]
Someone [Bb] [D] tickled him, [Bbm] she said, and all [Ebm] the noises [Ab] and the shaking came [Eb] calling.
[Bb] My mother had a brother, [Bbm] I [Ebm] thought I knew them [B] all, I [Ab] thought I knew, [Eb] but she [Ebm] died.
[Bb] Show me [Bbm] his face again, [Ebm]
[Abm] tell me again [Ebm] why he died.
She said he [Bbm] couldn't wait for the things that [B] I've seen.
She said he [Db] wasn't strong enough, he never [Eb] dared to [Abm] dream [Bbm] a [Gb] life [B] like mine.
[Eb] My mother [Bb] had a brother, [Bbm] [Gb] oversensitive and [B] [B] kind.
[Ebm]
[Bb] Since the empty [Bbm] spaces tortured [Gb] him, [B] since he took [Ebm] his own life,
[D] my mother can't imagine [Bbm] the [Ebm] joy and [B] [Ab] pain he [Eb] measured.
[Ebm]
[Bb] Tears [Bbm] in the dark [B] and all over your newborn [Ab] treasure.
She said [Bbm] to me, [Gb] tell my brother I [B] love him.
Yes, he [Db] couldn't wait [Db] another moment [Ab] to be free, [Bbm] an [Gb] [B] endless sky.
[Bbm] But, mama, will you tell him from [Abm] your own bone, the times [Ebm] they changed.
[Bbm] I guess the world was [Fm] getting warmer, but we got [Db] stronger.
[Bbm] Mother, will you tell him [Abm] about all my joy, I live each [Bbm] day for him.
The sun came [Fm] up again, [Abm] I'm [Ebm] still breathing it in, [D]
[Gb] breathing.
[Db] [B]
[Eb] [Ebm]
[Bbm] [B] My
[Ebm] mother [D] had a brother, same [Gb] desire, different [B] [Abm] time.
[Ebm] Since [Bb] the empty [Bbm] spaces tortured [B] him, until he took his [Ab] own life.
I [Bbm] don't know why I waited so [B] long for him.
I [Db] just don't know what I was [Ab] thinking of, [Bb] all that [Gb]
wasted [B] time.
[Ebm] So, mama, will you tell him from [Abm] your own bone, the times they [Bbm] changed.
I guess the world was [Ab] getting warmer, but [Db] we got stronger.
[Bbm] Mother, will you [Bb] [Bbm] tell him [Abm] about all my joy, I live each [Bbm] day for him.
The sun came [Fm] up [Db] again, [Abm]
I'm [Ebm] still breathing it in.
[Bb] [Gb]
[B] [Eb] [Ebm]
[Bbm] [Ebm]
[Abm] [Ebm] Mother, will you tell him about all [Bb] my joy,
[Ebm] [B] [Abm] [Eb] I live each day for him.
[Ebm] [Bbm] [Bbm]
[Abm] [Eb] That's where the [Bb] freedom is, see.
[Db] I'm gonna taste [B] it all for [Eb] you, oh.
I'm bad [Bb] to the bone, [Bbm] just a little torn.
I make [B] you so much love, [Eb] so much love.
So those of us who [Bb] have nothing to [Bbm] fear, we gotta [Gb] make them [B] sure.
That it was [Eb] worth [Ebm] it.
Bad [Bb] to the bone, [Bbm] just a little torn.
[Gb] I make you [B] so much love, [Ebm] I was a prisoner.
[Bb] But he saved me, [Gb] broke into my dreams and said [B] who cares.
I [Db] was a [Ebm] prisoner, [Bb] so disgrace me.
[Bbm] I'm glad to be home, [B] and I don't [Db] believe they [Ebm] care.
