[Verse 1]
Em                C       G                  D
Time is wasted on me but mom it will be all right
Em                C              G                   Am
You've lost your faith in me but mom it will be all right
Em       C                     G                D
And the family will hold even though we're all sad
Em       C                     G                        D
And the family will hold even though things turned out bad
Em          C                           G         D
And I will write a new song and I will sing it tonight
Em      C               G                  D
No one sings along but Mom it will be all right
Em       C                     G                     D
And the family will hold even though we've lost the means
Em       C                        G                  D
And the family will hold in this graceless, sad routine
D       C
Sad routine
 
 
[Chorus]
C                              Am
'Cause I've always know that i was second born
C                        Am
But I hold my own like I am a first born son
Am         Em
First born son
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em            C                  G               D
Temperatures dropped inside but mom it'll be alright
Em             C                     G              D
It's time to swallow your pride but mom it'll be alright
Em       C                             G              D
And the family will hold and we'll pretend we're not hexed
Em       C                          G                     D
And the family will hold though we don't know what comes next
D           C
What comes next
