What Happened To My Brother

Dm C Am Bb Dm C What happened to my brother? Am The life in his eyes? Bb Did something shake his brain Dm On that long bus ride? C What happened to my brother? Am Swear he had my mother's face Bb What I'd give to find him Dm Hold him in a long embrace C What happened to his body? Am Why's he look so white and empty? Bb When he shows up at my door Dm Just don't know him C Used to sit and talk for days Am Now he lays there in a haze Bb Till some tiny little nothin' Dm Triggers psychotic eruption C What happens when he's sleepin'? Am Why's he wake up cryin' and screamin'? Bb Walkin' into walls and runnin' Dm Like hungry animals are comin' C To gnaw his bones, lap up his blood Am From a ditch bank in the mud Bb Leave his scarecrow in the sticks Dm For the black birds C And the blue jays to pick Am Bb For the nature to encroach Dm For the wanderers to approach C For the snow and autumn leaves Am To be buried underneath Bb For the rivers to rise Dm Wash him out into the tides C What happened to my brother? Am Used to have his pick of lovers Bb A whole array of pretty ones Dm My brother was a silver sun C A heavyweight, a head bull Am A front-man, a waterfall Bb A stoic prince Bb Not the second Bb But the first violin Gm Bb Dm C Dm Bb Gm So For So For So forget the viola Bb Dm C Dm Bb Gm So For So For So forget the cello Bb Dm C Dm Bb Gm So For So For So forget the violin Bb Dm C He's up, he's up, he's up in his room Gone solo Dm C He used to dazzle us Am Leave a trail of magic dust Bb At the end of every joke Dm We would laugh so hard we'd choke C He could turn over a stone Am Find an endless well of poems Bb Used to bring the sweetest gifts Dm We went to him to be uplifted Dm C For inspiration, friendship Am We needed love, we needed tips Bb Oh, how I miss, how I miss Dm My brother, I miss Dm C You ask me, what's he do? Am He swallows reds, he swallows blues Bb Stares off in the night sky Dm You ask me, what's he do? Gm Bb Dm C Dm Bb Gm So For So For So forget the viola Bb Dm C Dm Bb Gm So For So For So forget the cello Bb Dm C Dm Bb Gm So For So For So forget the violin Bb Dm C He's up, he's up, he's up in his room Layin' low
