Long Lost Brother Tab

by Over The Rhine


                                       
I thought that we'd be further along by now
                                   
I can't remember how we stumbled to this place

I loved you like a long lost brother
                                   
ON a bad day maybe I thought why bother
                                    
I've seldom seen so much anger in a face

Chorus
                              
I wanna do better, I wanna try harder
                      
I wanna believe down to the letter
                      
Jesus and Mary can you carry us
                             
Across this ocean into the arms of forgiveness


I don't mean to laugh out loud

I'm trying to come clean trying to shed my doubt
                                   
Or maybe I should just keep my big mouth shut

More often than not when it comes to you

You want whatever's not in front of you
                            
Deep down I know this includes me too

Chorus
(play thru chorus once again, this is where she does the la,la, la's)

   
So tell me your troubles let your pain rain down

I know my job, I've been around
                                
I invest in this mess, I'm a low cost dumping ground

Trouble is I'm so exausted

The plot, you see, I think I've lost it
                                 
I need the grace to find what can't be found


Chorus


I put all of the chords over the correct words,but when I submited, it put them
Just listen to the song for the chord changes. This song is done on the piano, but it sounds
with my twelve string. I pick through the chords like I would if I were playing it on 
piano. I just really wanted to sing this amazing song! So here it is, Have fun!
