The Glorious Sons – La Costa Notre This Thing Of Ours chords

[Intro]
C Dm Em Dm

[Verse 1]
     CYour Brother cornered me last night, at AJ's hanger
          DmHe had the look in his eyes of a stranger
        EmThen he reached for his blade, told me to say your name
      DmAnd everything went black

       CI woke up with his knife, in my left hand
       DmHe was staring at the ceiling like what I might've
             EmI grabbed his wallet and your mother's ring
    DmAnd left out the back


[Bridge]

          FThen your father showed up, to my house
       G                  G#dimWith a car full of friends
         AmI hopped 16 fences, crossed the river
          GTrying to get away from them


       FThen I made it to my brother's, stayed the night
         G               G#dimAnd took a plane to Berlin
           AmI spent the whole damn flight, staring out the window
    GAnd writing to you on this napkin

[Chorus]

          CYou can't beg forgiveness, from men like that
           DmNo they've bent their hearts too far
          Em                         DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours


[Instrumental]

C  Dm Em Dm


[Verse 2]
     CWhen they found Johnny, I wasn't surprised
                DmThey pulled him out of the river, tongue there between his eyes
           Em                                     DmBut it was news to me, when they found his sister too.
    C                                 DmThe RCMP started hanging around, they didn't say much but I heard it loud
    Em                               DmAnd now I know, that what I heard was true


[ Bridge]
     FWell some men think they're above the bible
G                                G#dimSome men think they're above the law
Am                                         GSome men just aren't born with anything to lose


           FBut baby if I die, then I'd be nothing,
         G                                 G#dimand if I ain't anything then I ain't worth lovin
Am                                      GBaby I'm afraid of death because I love you


[Chorus]
               COooohhhhhh the night I met you
                             DmI crossed my stars, you were driving your daddy's car
               Em                     DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours


          CYou can't beg forgiveness, from men like that
        DmNo they bent their hearts too far
               Em                   DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours


[Verse]
           CWhen I was younger, I lived on the corner
        DmAbove a general store, with my mother
    Em                                   DmHer boyfriend used to beat her black and blue
        C                                     DmI spent many a night, in my bedroom, thinking of him

And what I'd do
       Em                                               DmTill I met your brother, and he taught me that I didn't have to


[Bridge]
            FWe took him out in the woods past highway 15
       G                                      G#dimAnd we worked on his face till he couldn't be seen
             Am                                          GWe left him, naked, bloody, and shivering in the morning dew


    FAnd my poor mother, who's sick in the head
     G                                G#dimYour brother stood by me, next to her bed
       Am                                     GAnd he told me that we killed him, because we had to


[Chorus]
          CYou can't beg forgiveness, from men like that
           DmNo they've bent their hearts too far
             Em                     DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours


               COooohhhhhh the night I met you, I crossed my stars
         DmYou were driving your daddy's car
               Em                   DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours


[Outro]
              Em                    DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours
              Em                    DmThey dont understand, this thing of ours
              C    Dm   Em   DmThis thing of ours

C Dm Em Dm
