 Brother; 
C#m7                   F#7      Bmaj7        G#7sus4    G#7 
 There's so much that I could never say to your face. 
    C#maj7 
But by now, 
C#m7                  F#7                Bmaj7 G#7sus4       G#7 
 You should know the world and all its ways; so find your place.
[Strophe]
C#maj7                            C#m7        F#7 
 How do I find words that do not condescend, 
         Bmaj7       G#7sus4   G# 
When she bore you be-fore me? 
C#maj7                               C#m7            F#7 
 'Cos she doesn't need a child; she needs a friend. 
  Bmaj7              G#7sus4  G#7 
A son, not a sob sto-ry.     (Ooh, ooh, hoo).
[Refrain]
C#maj7                               C#m7             F#7 
 Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you. 
    Bmaj7                     G#7sus4  G#7 
And your priority; it must be her. 
C#maj7                               C#m7             F#7 
 Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you. 
Bmaj7                           G#7sus4  G#7 
 'Cos we'll never be the way we were.    (Ooh, ooh, hoo).
[Strophe]
C#maj7      C#m7              F#7               Bmaj7 G#7sus4     G#7 
 She can't always be there, just to hold you down; our mother. 
     C#maj7   C#m7            F#7                 Bmaj7  G#7sus4     G#7 
When you are at an age now, where life turns a-round, my brother.
[Strophe]
C#maj7 
 Realise; 
                       C#m7          F#7 
That you don't have to answer to no man, 
   Bmaj7                      G#7sus4  G#7 
Re-sponsibility comes down to you. 
C#maj7                        C#m7        F#7 
 But how can I expect you to understand, 
     Bmaj7                            G#7sus4   G#7 
When you live life like you're so run through?
[Refrain]
C#maj7                               C#m7             F#7 
 Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you. 
    Bmaj7                     G#7sus4  G#7 
And your priority; it must be her. 
C#maj7                               C#m7             F#7 
 Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you. 
Bmaj7                           G#7sus4  G#7 
 'Cos we'll never be the way we were.
[Refrain]
C#maj7                               C#m7             F#7 
 Now you must look out for her, the way she did for you. 
    Bmaj7                     G#7sus4  G#7 
And your priority; it must be her. 
C#maj7                               C#m7             F#7

Bmaj7                           G#7sus4  G#7 
 'Cos we'll never be the way we were.
[Refrain]
C#maj7            C#m7     F#7 
 The way we were,  we'll never be. 
Bmaj7       G#7sus4    G#7 
 (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh). 
  
             C#maj7            C#m7  F#7 
And your pri-ority it must be her. 
Bmaj7       G#7sus4  G#7 
 (Ooh, ooh, hoo).
