[Dm]
[Gm] I'm going to sing a song called, Sister.
Sister, [Dm]
I've been to town [Am] since yesterday.
[E] [Eb] Sister, [F]
don't you forget [C] my number on [Dm] the door.
[Gm] You've got something [Dm] in it so good to say.
[Am] Something [E] wonderful that I could not be.
[Eb] Everybody [F] hanging on for their lives.
[C] But you can't approve [Dm] because you don't have the time.
I [C] know everyone goes [Gm] any damn place [Dm] they like.
All [C] this goes over well [Gm] on the toxic radio.
[Am] [F] Sister, you [Bb] can take [C] it one time [F] for a cold.
[Bb]
I [C] don't know [F] why you're [Bb] so colorful, [C] but I [F] don't mind.
[Bb] So I don't [C] have no [F] problem.
I [Bb] don't need [C] anyone with me [F] right now.
One [Bb] day, just me [C] and my weak [F] ass.
You [Bb] can take it [C] for a fool [F] all the time.
[Bb] Oh, I don't [C] know why.

[C] Oh, we're so lucky [D] because we never [Dm] grow up.
[Gm] Mama, [F]
it feels like just [Am] yesterday.
[E]
[Eb] Mama, [F] I'm not a good fucking [C] child enough.
I don't want to [D] be the one that let go.
[Dm] I know [C]
everyone [G] goes any damn place [Dm] they choose.
And I know [C]
everyone well [G] on the toxic radio.
[Gm] [Dm] Don't rest [C] in the ghetto, [Gm] not afraid of [Dm] anything.
Just ask [C]
anything else [Gm] that can really hurt them both.
[Am] [F] Yeah, you can [Bb] take it [C] one time [F] for a cold.
[Bb] I don't [C] know why.
[F] You're so [Bb]
colorful, [C] but I [F] don't mind.
[Bb] I don't have [C] no problem.
[F] I [Bb] don't need [C] anyone with me [F] right now.
Monday, [Bb]
Tuesday, [C] and my weak [F] ass.
You can [Bb] take it all [C] the time [F] for a fool.
