VERSE 1:
               C          Em       G
   He's on the run from a bad break
       C              Em          D
   His soles are worn down to the skin
                C          Em       G
   He's got the scars of a heartache
              C        Em          D
   So you can see everywhere he's been

C                              Em      D/F#  G
   And where he was he was The only one
C                             Em         D
   So he went looking for his mother's son

CHORUS:
            C       G        Dsus
And with my family around me now
   C             G        Dsus
It takes me to a new place
        C         G         Dsus
When my family surrounds me now
            Em    D
You see it on my face

VERSE 2:
               C             Em       G
   But his own people didn't know him
                 C        Em           D
   They couldn't take the bad with the good
                   C                Em       G
   There's just so much he couldn't show them
               C                   Em      D
   It left him sneaking 'Round the neighborhood

C                       Em             D/F#  G
   He just wanted to be known and loved
C                                   Em         D
   And sometimes flesh and blood is not Enough

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Em          D2/F#   G6    Cmaj7      B11
   Who's my sis  -  ter     Who's my brother
Em          D2/F#  G6     Cmaj7       B11
   Who's my fa  -  ther     Who is my mother
Em           D2/F# G6    Cmaj7  B11
   Those who I     can - not    sell anything
Em           D2/F# G6     Cmaj7  B11
   Those who can - not    buy my loVe

VERSE 1:
He's on the run from a bad break
His soles are worn down to the skin
He's got the scars of a heartache
So you can see everywhere he's been

And where he was he was the only one
So he went looking for his mother's son

CHORUS:
And with my family around me now
It takes me to a new place
When my family surrounds me now

VERSE 2:
But his own people didn't know him
They couldn't take the bad with the good
There's just so much he couldn't show them
It left him sneaking 'round the neighborhood

He just wanted to be known and loved
And sometimes flesh and blood is not enough

BRIDGE:
Who's my sister, who's my brother
Who's my father, who is my mother
Those who I cannot sell anything
Those who cannot buy my love
