The things that I think of
Am Am G G F F C C
No need to get over alarmed

I wonder which brother is better
F F G G C C
Which one my parents love the most
C C Em Em Am Am G G

Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing

Lyrics are incorrect:

"Don't worry with all my belongings" should be:
"Don't bother with all my belongings"

Instead of repeating the second to last line:
"Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing"
There should have been this instead of the last line:
"Like the love that let us share our name"

(All chords are correct though) :)
