[Verse 1]
My brother's [Am]blood boils in my arms
It balls my fin[C]gers into fists
It bubbles [Dm]blisters burns my palms
It floods [G]with fury, fights, and fits
It's got the good [Am]guy in me hiding
It kicks my [C]humble heart around
It's [Dm]got me fiendin' for the fire
That could fin[G]ish off this town

[Verse 2]
[Am]blood on a cherry tree
It stains [C]the bark from branch to root
It puddles thick [Dm]with pits and leaves
It strains the sweet[G]ness from the fruit
It's got me look[Am]in' for communion
A hidin' [C]spot off underground
An open [Dm]plot I could climb in to
A lighting [G]promise in my mouth
A blackout [C]oath I swore [G]and meant,
but couldn't con[Dm]jure up [Am]again
I [C]don't know one [G]thing [F]about
my [E]brother's [Am]blood
No,I [G]don't [Am]know one thing [E]about my brother's blood

[Verse 3]
[Em]It's my brot[Dm]her's blood
[Am]In my dirty lungs
In my crooked mouth
[C]On my swollen tongue
On my father's gun
[Dm]On each stranger's face
Across the bluebird sky
[G]On every hand I shake
Night after night
[Am]With each chuckled prayer
Such sweet relief
[C]My fists full of hair
With each desperate [Dm]drive
for elusive peace
With every endless night
[G]With each was[Am]ted week

[Verse 4]
[Bm]All [G]that dialo[Am]gue
doublin' back on me
All that tangled talk
[C]All my growling need
It's my brother's [Dm]back
It's my father's arms
It's every twisted fact
[G]In my sorry heart
[Em]My sorry heart[Dm], my sorry heart[Am]

Go make your [Dm]peace with everyone
