intro

Am ( 3 beats ) G ( 1 beat )

Am G Am G
a friend of mine grows his very own brambles
Am G Am G
they twist all around him ’til he can’t move
Am E Am G
beautiful , quivering , chivalrous shambles
Am E Am G
what is my friend trying to prove?

the booze turns a tall , gentle boy to a terrible totem
and the kids gather round trying to see what’s inside
i think when he’s drinking he’s drowning some riot
what is my friend trying to hide?

Dm
cause it’s breaking my heart ,
Am G
it’s breaking my heart
Dm Am G
and it’s breaking my heart to pour like the rain
Am E Am G
brother of mine , don’t run with those fxxkers
Am E Am G
when will my friend start singing again?
Am E Am G
when will my friend start singing again?

oooooo bit : Dm Am Dm Am Em Am G repeat until end
