 say to your face.

But by now, 
C#m7                  F#7         
 You should know the world and all

 its ways; so find your place.

A son, not a sob sto-ry.     (Ooh,

 way she did for you.

 hold you down; our mother. 
 She can't always be there, just to hold you down; our mother.

 life turns a-round, my
 G#7sus4     G#7 
 brother.
When you are at an age now, where life turns a-round, my brother.

C#maj7 
 Realise;

 understand, 
 But how can I expect you to understand, 
     Bmaj7                           
When you live life like you're so run

 through?
