I Love You Like A Brother

Fm D# C# C X3


[Verse 1]
          Fm
She might cry herself to sleep tonight
          D#
You might act like everything feels alright
        C#
I might bite my lip, like the silent type
          C
You might make a fist, like you trying to fight
    Fm
Got ghosts that haunt that home
                  D#
And if you didn't want that known then don't put it on a throne
C#                                           C
 You separate the foe from the friend by the showmanship

And the bones that don't bend
Fm
 So now I'm studying your moves like
D#
 You the only one that knew how to do right
C#
 Present it with a sleeve of success
        C
Like we all benefit if you achieve and progress
Fm
 Maybe you're right maybe I'm just left but
D#
 Unless you walk a flight in my steps but
C#
 Unless you slept a night in my nest
    C
You shouldn't waste your breath to criticize my mess


[Chorus]

Fm
 I love you like a brother
D#
 Even though I'm not your brother
C#
 We all got a few flaws
           C
 But let's try not to get too lost in the applause
Fm
 I love you like a sister
D#
 Even though you're not my sister
C#
 We all got a few flaws
           C
 But let's try not to get too lost


[Verse 2]

Fm
Used to be rock, but now it's roll
D#
Looking at the clock and the remote control
C#
The circle contracts till you all alone
C
 I put that on the people you've outgrown
Fm
 And maybe it was all for show
           D#
But it was so convincing that the ground got cold
C#                                    C
 I guess anything's possible, under a spotlight we all got a note to hold
        Fm                                           D#
It goes: don't throw no stones if you're living in a fish bowl

Blow a kiss though
          C#
Where the aim is based on which way the wind floats
C
 And pride is a bottle on a fence post
Fm
 I keep the shoes laced up
            D#
In case the people I love come to shoot the place up
  C#
I know we ain't cut from the same cloth
      C
But a lot of those fights were just to say we fought
    Fm
The mother turns, life is fragile
    D#
The struggle burns from inside of the candle
C#                                                 C
 It doesn't matter how far you run from it, you're still gonna find it

You come from it
Fm
 And even though we all equivalent
         D#
We gotta, hold on to the differences
         C#
We gotta, stand up for what we won't fall for
C
 Let's give a round of applause for

       Fm
All of all of y'all


[Chorus]


 I love you like a brother
D#
 Even though I'm not your brother
C#
 We all got a few flaws
           C
 But let's try not to get too lost in the applause
Fm
 I love you like a sister
D#
 Even though you're not my sister
C#
 We all got a few flaws
           C
 But let's try not to get too lost
