[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C            Cadd9/B         Am G
 If I get murdered  in the city
F              G
 Don't go revengin' in my name
C
C               Cadd9/B                 Am G
 One person dead       from such is plenty
F             G
 No need to go get locked away
C Am            G      C
    When I leave your arms
Am                G
  The things that I think of
C Am           G          F   C
    No need to get overalarmed
      G
I'm comin' home

[Verse 2]
C              Cadd9/B              Am G
 I wonder which       brother is better
F                G
 Which one our parents love the most
C C               Cadd9/B               Am G
   I sure did get in     lots of trouble
F                 G
 They seem to let the other go
C Am            G                   C
    A tear fell from my father's eyes
Am               G
  I wondered what my Dad would say
C Am
    He said,
        G               F            C
"I love you and I'm proud of you both
           G
In so many different ways."

[Verse 3]
C            Cadd9/B         Am G
 If I get murdered  in the city
F               G
 Go read the letter in my desk
C
C                 Cadd9/B            Am   G
 Don't bother with       all my belongings
F         G
 Pay attention to the list
C
Am             G                    C
  Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Am               G
  Make sure my mother knows the same
C
Am         G                F                C
  Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
                         G            C
Like the love that let us share our name
Am         G                F                C
  Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
                         G            C
Like the love that let us share our name.
