Chords for Jesse Lacey - Brothers (untitled 3) live acoustic 7/19/2012

It meant a lot to me and then one day I was playing it and I wrote new lyrics to it and then
after that I played it the second way like a lot and _ _ I haven't played it this way in a long time
and [Ab] things have changed since I wrote this [C] song [F] and the song is about my brothers and
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] the [Dbm] _
_ _ _ song's about my brothers and [N] you know they're my best friends in the world and I wrote this
about my fears about them and their future and about the future of our relationship and
and since then my youngest brother my youngest brother Cody he's joined the [G] navy and _ there's a
little bit [D] in this song about [N] about being scared about my brothers ever having to go to war and
_ _ and then and then he did that and it changed the way I thought about this song because
I realized that I couldn't I couldn't make his decisions for him so um
so here's the here's the hope and you know I it's funny I talked to him he's been in there
for a while and I talked to him recently I said you know what's what's going on he's stationed
in California what's going on _ he just said I'm bored you know I'm just bored and so here's
to hoping that he's just bored for the next four years _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] that's _ _
[G] for my brother Jamie playing [F] tonight too
[A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ [Em] heaven's getting colder _ and [F] the news keeps [A] us scared [G] _ we'll [Cm] wrestle [Em] this summer
on _ _ _ [Dm] the bones of our [Am] attire [G] and [F] blistered hands _
cause tonight we got [A] drinks and [G] just a couple of [F] friends _
and the girl that my [Am] brother likes [G] is finally talking to him
[F] _ _ _
and his chest is all [A] swelled like he's [G] proud and happy _ _ [C] [F] like _ _ he's got a great [G] idea _ _
like he's making a [C] memory _ _
wake up _ [Am] and come out to [G] the car _ [Cm] and there's an east swell coming
the [Am] wind is howling [G] offshore _ and we'll [F] _
be _ _ flying [C] like [A] _
lions [G] out in the sand
_ [F] _
_ _ _ I'll be [E] [Am] dead before [Gm] you put a gun in my [C] brother's hands
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] so _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] we make jokes [Em] back home _ [A] and we lighten the mood
[G] _ _ _ [Cm] _
growing [Em] up my parents saw [A] but sending the kids to fight [G] for me they really [F] didn't
_ and now with these [A] wars I can [G] tell they're a little shook up
[F] _ _
_ a few [A] mother's sons it's a [G] shame but it's never gonna [E] be [F] enough _
I tell half of our [A] names are etched out in [G] the wall
_ [E] _ [F] _ _
and the other half [G] ruined _ from the things we saw
[C] _ _ _
wake up and [A] come out to the [Gm] car _ [C] there's an east swell coming
the _ [Am] wind is howling [G] offshore and we'll [F] be _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [F] _ I'll _ _ be [Am] dead before you [G] put a gun in my brother's [C] _ [Em] head
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [A]
oh yeah
[G] _ [Cm] wake _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _

up _ [Am] and come out to [Gm] the car _ [Cm] there's an east swell coming
_ [A] the wind is howling [Gm]
offshore _ [C] and we'll [F] be _
_ _ flying [Em] like [A] _ lions [G] out in the [Em] sand
[Fm] _ _ _
_ [F] I'll [E] be [Am] dead before you [G] put a gun in my [C] brother's [Em] hands
