Tom: A

A                         D            E
You don't like sports and I don't like dresses
A                   D               E
Luckily for us, our parents got the message
A                  D         E
Always say "No" to combat my yeses
A                       D          E
You know me better than I give you credit
A                                D                E
People say we look the same, but I don't think we do
A                             D                E
Maybe that's a consequence of sharing the same womb
A                          D              E
Clashed like the band, but now we're back stronger
A                          D           E
While we're both young yet still a bit older

[Chorus]
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
D           E       A
Just like I oughta, yeah

[Instrumental 1]
A D E x4

[Verse]
A                         D             E
From the same divorce and from the same wedding
A                     D        E
We couldn't help that marriage ending
A                   D          E
Mothers and fathers don't last forever
A                         D           E
We don't get a choice, so let's stick together

[Chorus]
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
D           E       A
Just like I oughta, yeah

[Bridge]
F#m                   A
Ooh, things could get heavy
D
But I know, I know, I know, I know
E                     A
I know we're starting again

[Verse]
A                 D          E
I play guitar and you ride a skateboard
A                         D           E
You ask me questions like I'm a magic 8-ball
A                    D                E
I'm your big sister, you're my little brother
A                              D             E
Things are never perfect but I wouldn't want another

[Chorus]
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
D           E       A
Just like I oughta, yeah
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
A                          D           E
I love you like a brother, just like I oughta
D           E       A
Just like I oughta, yeah
