Unwanted, but breathing in the next room, sleeping
( D/F# ) Em7 - -
My mother, shes crying and my fathers been drinking

In our run-down apartment where the roof is still leaking

Hes cursing and cussing its just the whiskey talking

And Ive got lots of memories like this one
( Em7 ) Cadd9 - ( Cadd9 ) Em7 -

Its all too much oh its all too much when youre just a little kid

My little brother, just a newborn baby I

An undeserving mistake, He calls him a burden

Its all too much oh its all too much when youre just a little kid

Well, broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating
( D/F# ) Em7 - -
The addiction, and the lying and the promise of leaving

While my old man was a bastard, I admired and loved him

And us two kids, we were born in to a family, not a fortune, oh
