Brothers Keeper

G
Some days
        Bb
I won't get out of bed
    Eb              Gm                 Cm
Let air-conditioned thoughts inside my head
                    G    Gm
Like I don't know myself
      Bb
And I build up a fence
Eb    G     Gm                    Cm
Push away the things that once made sense
                      Gm
And I won't want your help
     Bb   Eb   Bb
All alone on the step
Eb      G     Gm       F    Cm
Waiting for the gates to open up


[Chorus]
F                     Cm
Oh brother; brother's keeper
Eb         Dm        Cm
I'll follow will you lead us?
F                   Cm
Oh sister; mother's daughter
Eb       Dm        Cm
I wonder, will you preach?

Will I learn to get better?

Gm  G  Bb  Ebm
G  Cm  C


[Verse 2]
G
Sometimes
       Bb
I just stare into space
Eb                    Gm            Cm
Watch through all the film of my mistakes
                    G    Gm
I just can't help myself
     Bb
All alone on the step
Eb      G     Gm       F    Cm
Waiting for the gates to open up


[Chorus]
F                     Cm
Oh brother; brother's keeper
Eb         Dm        Cm
I'll follow will you lead us?
F                   Cm
Oh sister; mother's daughter
Eb       Dm        Cm
I wonder, will you preach?

Will I learn to get better?

Dm  Eb  Dm  Cm


[Post-Chorus]
G
One day
       Bb
I will climb down the step
     Eb      G      Gm     F     C
Just give me one good reason to pretend


[Chorus]
F                     Cm
Oh brother; brother's keeper
Eb         Dm        Cm
I'll follow will you lead us?
F                   Cm
Oh sister; mother's daughter
Eb       Dm        Cm
I wonder, will you preach?

Will I learn to get better?

Gm  Bb  Ebm
