                                                                     ((3b 47 3bM7 5))(1 5)
 You're the white sheep of the family and they're all so proud of you, 1   1
 You're the only one who can be sure of knowing what to do,            1   17
when disaster finds your brother or your uncle needs                   4   4
       another short-term loan, who do they phone?                     1   1
You've got to fly there to their rescue when their ass is in a sling,  5  47
    on your martyr Catholic daughter angel wings.                    ((3b 47 3bM7 5)) 1

      Who's got to make things right when your father picks a fight    1   1
and the officer decides he ought to cool off overnight?                1   17
        Who keeps the whole thing quiet so the family pride            4   4
         survives another scare?   Who hurries there?                  1   1
Who's got the world in her care; who's got to hold up everything       5  47
     on her martyr Catholic daughter angel wings?                    ((3b 47 3bM7 5)) 1
                                                                     ((3b 47 3bM7 5))(1 17)

BRIDGE:
    You were destined for your role from the start.                    4   1
      It was passed down from some saintly maiden aunt.                4   1 
        Once heaven had you fitted  for your halo and your harp,       2   2
though you'd just as soon be living  a normal life,  you can't ...     2   5   5   5aug
not when
       your nephews all are truants and their parents barely speak;    1   1  
though your sister's only human, you ain't got that luxury             1   17
  when your brother's such a screwup and your mother she's just        4   4
            clueless what to do,       but not you.                    1   1
No it's your job to pull them through; you got to carry everything     5   47
   on those martyr Catholic daughter angel wings.                    ((3b 47 3bM7 5)) 1
                                                                     ((3b 47 3bM7 5)) 1
  Yeah it's harder than you thought   to carry everything              5   47
