What is my friend trying to prove?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/elbow/some_riot_crd_ver_3.html ]
The booze turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem
And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside
I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to hide?
Dm
Cause it's breaking my heart,
Am G
it's breaking my heart
Dm Am G
And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain
Am E Am G
Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
Am E Am G
When will my friend start singing again?
Am E Am G
When will my friend start singing again?
