Intro chords
x4
Seven times I told you
Seven times in one day
There must be something now we
can do about it
So is it maybe, is it
can be or never
In the summertime, you're hard to find
You had a little something that you wanted to tell me about
I'll be around, I'm available anytime
Never together, it will never get better
In the summertime, you're hard to find
Chorus
Everyone should grow up with a Big Brother
Everyone should grow up with a real Dad
It can only get better
All we gotta do is stick together
x2
Seven times I told you
But ten times it will take
I'm like a hurricane
Forgive me my mistakes
Oh oh no, I've got no reference
I'm not holding the key
Guess I just want someone to feel sorry for me
And when you travel around and you talk to people
I'm disappearing in a hole in the ground
I hear they call you the girl who knows everything
Listen to them then, forget about me
Chorus
Everyone should grow up with a Big Brother
Everyone should grow up with a real Dad
It can only get better
All we gotta do is stick together
(Repeat Chorus)
(!-NB! This next section contains no hearable guitar playing,
but you can palm-mute the same chords as in the verse-!)
When you did say something, I heard nothing
That was on your mind, there was no one listening
You gave up trying, cos I was rejecting
Never look you in the eye, never connecting
x2
It can only get better
All we gotta do is stick together
Chorus
Everyone should grow up with a Big Brother
Everyone should grow up with a real Dad
It can only get better
All we gotta do is stick together
