VERSE 1 (All chords in this verse are heavily palm muted)
E F# A
I woke up sweating in the sun Sprawled across my big brother’s grave
E F# A
Shaking and drunk with sleep I crawled to my feet and walked up into the
E F# A
shade of a young elm tree that must have been planted since last we came
E F# A
Vicki my mom and me to clean the dirt from the plaque that says his
E F# E F#(lighter muting)
name
VERSE 2 (All chords in this verse with lighter palm muting)
E F# A
Walking to my girlfriend’s car It came back down on me
E F# A
Yeah, I guess I fell to my knees to keep from falling face first into the
E F# A
dream The vision that had had me twisting out under the afternoon sky
E F# A
I didn’t know it then but it was thirteen years to the day he died
E B E (x3 with no palm muting)
CHORUS (All chords in this chorus with no muting)
E F# A
He held his hand to me
E F#
Like brothers we walked (we walked) through the colorless world of an
A
alcohol dream
E F# A
I talked for hours Trying to break through the silence that he held to me
E F# A
Then he started away, turned and said Keep it up so you can die like me
E A G A E A G A
Yeah-eah so you can die like me
E G# F# E A G# B
Go!
G# F# E A G# B (x3)
BRIDGE (Heavily Palm Muted)
G# F# E A G# B
Ever since my brother O.D’d I’ve drifted all over from town to town to town
G# F# E A G# B
Every place I go it’s always the same I keep doing junk I keep going down
G# F# E A G# B
Yeah my mama got religion my sisters gave up Man, I just gave up too
G# F# E A G# F# E
I just died inside Don't wanna die like George
G# F# E A G#
Don’t wanna die like George
F#
Everyone says there's things to see,
F# E
everyone’s pointing their fingers at me
CHORUS (Heavily Palm muted until after the first "He's gonna die like me" then play with no muting)
E F# A
I woke up driving after another blackout from another bad drug
E F# A
I can’t shake this hell That I’ve made for myself for every other life I
E F# A
touch See my sister’s son walk the line I walk He’s only sixteen
E F# A
If he don’t learn from my mistakes He’s gonna waste away,
E A G A
He’s gonna die like me
E A G A E A G A
He’s gonna die like me
E A G A E A G A
He's gonna die like me He's gonna die like me

He's gonna die like me He's gonna die like me
