This is the chords of We Aint Even Kin by Benjamin Tod on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
People say I look like my grandfather
Em7 Cadd9 G
And I begin to explain we ain\’t even kin
G Cadd9 G
And he\’ll interrupt with \”Why bother?\”
Em7 Cadd9 G
And saunter away with a sideways grin
Cadd9 G
Cause we both understand I\’d given a damn about feelings
Cadd9 G Dsus D Dsus2
And why in the hell try and tell folks what you\’re livin\’
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
And life is defined by decisions
Em7 D G
And you may burn bridges you ain\’t got time to mend
Cadd9 G
You\’re too old to be in this condition
Cadd9 D G
You\’re too young for the lord to take in
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G
He\’ll read me the bible til midnight
Em7 Cadd9 G
And he tanned my hide when he caught me in lies
G Cadd9 G
When I dropped out of school we did fight
Em7 Cadd9 G
And we lost some years into our foolish pride
Cadd9 G
And now I\’m not sure if I\’m better or worse for the distance
Cadd9 G Dsus D Dsus2
But we\’re not concerned cause there\’s nothing to learn from resentment
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
And life is defined by decisions
Em7 D G
And you may burn bridges you ain\’t got time to mend
Cadd9 G
You\’re too old to be in this condition
Cadd9 D G
You\’re too young for the lord to take in
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G
He cheers with the television
Em7 Cadd9 G
Hopin\’ this year Kentucky will win
G Cadd9 G
And I\’d give a yell from the kitchen
Em7 Cadd9 G
And I wear it with pride that I\’m close to him
Cadd9 G
And I count the days and watch as the haze fills his eyes
Cadd9 G Dsus D Dsus2
But I won\’t complain it\’s a privilege to live and die
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
And life is defined by decisions
Em7 D G
And you may burn bridges you ain\’t got time to mend
Cadd9 G
You\’re too old to be in this condition
Cadd9 D G
You\’re too young for the lord to take in
Cadd9 D G
You\’re too young for the lord to take in
