            F
If I had a sister, I might be with her
          A#
Out at a bar, talking 'bout a broken heart
            F
If she was married, it'd make me happy
               A#
I'd be by her side, she'd make a beautiful bride

  C
She'd be my built-in best friend
Dm
Right around my age
 C
She would know how hard it's been
  Dm
'Cause we grew up the same way

Chorus:
 F
People would say we look like each other
 A
Got the same brown eyes as our mother
 A#
Someone who's been there before
                        A#m
Caught sneakin' in the same backdoor
 F
Going back home would be a lot better
  A                                 A#
When our parents fight, we'd just smile
                        A#m      F
It gets lonely being an only child

If I had a brother, a little bit younger
He might act tough, every time I fell in love
Yeah, he would be taller and help with our father
When we got old, I wouldn't have to do it alone

He'd be my built-in best friend
Right around my age
Know he'd be a gentleman
'Cause we grew up the same way

Chorus:
People would say we look like each other
Got the same brown eyes as our mother
Someone who's been there before
Caught sneakin' in the same backdoor
Going back home would be a lot better
When our parents fight, we'd just smile
It gets lonely being an only child

Hmm, hmm
It gets lonely being an only child
