This is one of the saddest Ayreon songs ever... though this is very nice to play!
especially if you got a vocalist or you are a vocalist... =)
2 versions: Orginal and a radio version performed by Arjen Lucassen and Marjan Welman.

He'd always break you, never let you win

No matter what you said, he'd always disagree
F#m Bm D
You swore that one day you would be
A Em C Am C Em D C Em
better than him...one day you'd win
Verse:
Em C Am
[Agony] You're hiding out in the cellar

Aching and ashamed, covering up the bruises
Em C D
[Me] And then he would tell her

How I tripped and hurt my head, how I'd always be a loser
