You  need to get out of this house
 I’ll walk you down to town
 We’ll go act our age
 Kick rocks, waste summer days
 Penny candy at the general store
 I’d buy us a pop if I had more
 Keep walking inland all day
 Spitting and cursing each other’s name
“Ain’t  this what
  ain’t this what brothers are supposed to do?”
The  blood between us, makes it all but true
So  we roll on through
 Out past the quarries, sandpits too
 Swim out among the rocks and cliffs
 Ignorant youth keeps us from death
 Find our way out to the tracks
 The sun, it beats down on our backs
 Well, heaven help us if there’s a train
 Dodge it like the beaches of Normandybut
“Ain’t  this what… ain’t this what brothers are supposed to do?”
The  blood between us, makes it all but true
 The chords switch up here to C,G,Am,F The violin sounds good here so I added the violin
 below and you can play it with the strum pattern, I used an example after with the C chord

And  we saw that smoke rising over trees
 And I swore,  I swore, I swore that train was out for me
So  I held him tight and felt those tracks rumble underneath
He  swore, he swore if I didn’t let go he would knock me off my feet
 And that’s what he did
 And that's what he did
 And that's what he did
 And that's what he did
 Then it ends with Am's again. please rate
