Intro:  A  G  D  A 
 
A                           G 
I've got a lot that's on my mind today 
D                            A 
But every man got a story to tell 
                               G 
My brother watched his life go down the drain 
D                             A 
His addiction took control of him 
                           G 
Everytime I see my brother look at me 
D                          A 
I turn my head, to me he's dead 
 
                          G 
So much pressure, so much pain 
                                  D 
Everything to lose and nothing to gain 
A 
But I'm going on again 
                             G 
It's everything that he ever dreamed 
                       D 
Says things he doesn't mean 
A 
But I'm going on again 
 
Solo: A  G  D  A 
 
                       G 
Please my mother don't cry today 
D                                           A 
I know it's hard cause he's your first born son 
                                G 
Don't blame yourself for the decisions made 
D                                  A 
I think it's time, we just let him go 
 
                          G 
So much pressure, so much pain 
                                  D 
Everything to lose and nothing to gain 
A 
But I'm going on again 
                             G 
It's everything that he ever dreamed 
                       D 
Says things he doesn't mean 
A 
But I'm going on again 
 
F# 
All the times you lie 
                 A 
Tell me that you changed 
 
But you never did 
                 Bsus4 
You just walked away 
                    A 
It always stays the same 
F# 
Every time you cried 
                A 
And you felt afraid 
 
Look at what you did 
              Bsus4 
Now just walk away 
             A 
You'll never change 
 
 
So much pressure, so much pain 
                                  D 
Everything to lose and nothing to gain 
A 
But I'm going on again 
                          G 
So much pressure, so much pain 
                                  D 
Everything to lose and nothing to gain 
                  A 
But I'm going on again 
                          G 
So much pressure, so much pain 
                                  D 
Everything to lose and nothing to gain 
                  A 
But I'm going on again 
                              G 
It's everything that he ever dreamed 
                       D 
Says things he doesn't mean 
                  A 
But I'm going on again 
 
Solo 2: A  G  D  A
