               E        F#m         
They said his mama had cement for milk  
            E               F#m 
And that his papa built him brick by brick 
          A              E             F#m  
And now the world breaks like waves on his skin

And all the words like broken birds are trapped within

And that his brother was ten foot thick  
              A           E             F#m 
And now the world breaks like waves on his skin

And all the words like broken birds are trapped within
