              Am               F              E
You and me we're cut from the same cloth 
Am               F              E
 It seems to some we famously get along 
Am               F              E
 But you and me are strangers to each other 
Am               F              E
 Cuz you and me: competitive to the bone 
 
Am               F              E
 Such tragedy to trample on each other 
Am                                      F                E
 With how much we've endured with the state this land is in 
Am               F              E
 And you and me feel joined only by gender 
Am               F              E
 We are not all for one and one for all 
Am                 F                 E
Sister blister we fight to please the brothers 
Am                      F               E
 We think their acceptance is how we will win 
Am                        F               E
 They're happy we're climbing over each other 
Am                    F            E
 To beg the club of boys to let us in
(now same chords than verse1)
 
You and me estranged from the mother 
 
 You and me have felt impotent in our skin 
 
 You and me have taken it out on each other 
 
 You and me disloyal to the feminine 
 
 
Such a pity to disavow each other 
 
 With how far we've come 
 
 With how strong we've been 
 
 And you and me are on this pendulum together 
 
 You and me with scarcity still fuelling 
Am                 F                 E
Sister blister we fight to please the brothers 
Am                      F               E
 We think their acceptance is how we will win 
Am                        F               E
 They're happy we're climbing over each other 
Am                    F            E
 To beg the club of boys to let us in
INTERLUDE:
 F       E          F        E
 We may not have priorities same 
 F       E         F         E
 We may not even like each other 
 F          E          F    E 
 We may not be hugely anti-men 
 F           E           F      E
 But such a cost to dishonour a sister
 
 
 (this is the last verse, same chors, ain't no 2nd verse)
 
 You and me have made it harder for the other 
 
 We forget how hard separatism has been 
 
 You and me we can help change their minds together 
 
 You and me in alignment until the end 
Am                 F                 E
Sister blister we fight to please the brothers 
Am                      F               E
 We think their acceptance is how we will win 
Am                        F               E
 They're happy we're climbing over each other 
Am                    F            E
 To beg the club of boys to let us in
