[A] [Am]
[F]
[A] [Am]
[C] It's like [A] I'm in this dirt digging up old hurt, tried everything to get [Eb] my mind off you it won't work
All it takes is one song on [Gm] the radio, [A] you're right back on it reminding me all over [N] again
How you fucking just brushed me off and left me so burnt, spent a lot of time trying to soul search
Maybe I needed to grow up a little first, well looks like I'd hit a growth spurt
But I'm coming for closure, don't suppose an explanation
I'm old for the way [F] that you turned your back on me just when I [D] may have needed you, [A] mofo
You thought it was over, [E] you could just close the chapter [F] and go about your life [D] like it was nothing
You [A] ruined mine, but you seem to be doing fine, [C] well I've never recovered
[F] But tonight betcha that whatcha [G] bout to go through's tougher [A] than anything I ever have suffered
[E] Can't think of a better [F] way to define poetic [D] justice, can I hold grudges?
[A] Mind saying let it go, fuck this, [Gb] heart saying I will once I bury this bitch alive
Hide the shovel and then drive [F] off in the sunset
[C] I [Dm] flee [A] the scene [E] like it was [F] my last ride, you [D] see [A] right through
[C] Oh you had me pegged the [F]
first time, you can't [D] see [A] the truth
But [Em] it's easier to [F]
justify, [Dm] [A] it's good
And [C] I hate to be [F] the bad guy, [A] I [Am]
just hate to be [F] the bad [A] guy
I don't want [Am] to [C] be [Gb] the bad guy
I used to think you was the shit, bitch
To think it was you at [N] one time I worshiped, shit
Think you can hurt people and just get, getting away with it, bitch
Now this time you better go and get the sewing kit, bitch
Finish this shit so you can reap what you sowed in it, bitch
Thought some time had passed and I'd forget it, forget it
You left our family in shambles, you expect me to just get over him?
Pretend he never existed?
[F] Maybe gone but he's not forgotten, and don't [D] think cause he's been out the picture [A] so long that I've stopped the plotting
And [E] still ain't coming to get [F] you, you're wrong and that shit was rotten
[A] And the way you played him, [A] same shit you did to me
Go, [C] have you any idea [F] the shit that I've gone through?
Feelings [D] I harbor, all this [A] penitent resentment I hold on to
Not once you [Em] call to ask me how I'm [F] doing, that is you don't respond to em
[D] Fuck it, I'm coming [A] to see you and gee who better [Am] to talk to than [Cm] you
The cause of my problems, my [B] life is garbage and I'm about to [E] take it out on you
[F] Poof, then I'm gone, pooch
I [D] flee [A] the scene [E] like it was my [F] last ride
[G] You see [A] right through, oh [C] you had me pegged [F] the first time
You can't [D] see [A] the truth, [E] but it's easier [F] to justify
[D] [A] It's good, [C] and I hate to be [F] the bad guy
[A] I [Am]
just hate [Em] to be the [F] bad guy
[G] [Am]
I [C] just hate to be the bad [Abm] [F] guy
[N]
I've been driving around [Eb] your side of this town like 9 fricking hours and 45 minutes now
[D] Finally I found your new address, parking your drive
Feel [Cm] like I've been waiting on this moment [Gm] all of my life
And it's now arrived and my [N] mouth is full of saliva
My knife is out and I'm gucking on the side of your house
See it's sad I came to this place, a jade disappointment
I had to make this appointment to come and see ya
But I ain't here for your empathy, I don't need your apology
Or your friendship or sympathy, [F] it's revenge that I seek
So I [D] sneak, bench fully intrigued, [A] the bedroom window like I reached my full [E] potential
I peek,
[F] continue to peep, still bent [G] loading
Keep [A] tapping the glass lightly, they start to [C] crescendo
Sneak [F] all the way round to the back porch, man [D] door handles unlocked
[A] Shouldn't be that easy to do this, you don't [E] plan for intruders beforehand?
[F] Surprised to see me?
[D] Cat got your tongue?
[A] Gag, chloroform rag, kag, [C] almost hack up a lung
Like you picked an axe up and swung
[F] Stick to the core plan, [Gb] drag to the back of a trunk
By one of your fans, Irony Spectacular, huh?
Now who's a faggot, you punk?
[N] And here's your bronco hat, you can have that shit back cause they suck
[F]
It's just me, you, and the [A] music, now slam
I hope you hear it, we're in a car right now
Wait, [E] here comes my favorite lyric
I'm the [A] bad guy who makes fun of people that die
And [A] hey, here's the sequel to my Mathers LP
[Cm] Just to try to get people [F] to buy
How's this for [D] publicity stunt?
This should be fun, last album now
Cause [E] after this you'll be officially done
[F] [D] Eminem killed by Eminem
[A] Matthew Mitchell, bitch I even have your [G] initials
I initially was [Eb] gonna bury [Gb] you next to my brother
But fuck it, since you're in love with this city so much
I figured, what the fuck?
The best place you could be [Eb] buried alive is right here
Two more exits, time is quite near
Hope we don't get stopped, no license [F] I fear
That sirens I hear?
Guess 90 [A] on the freeway wasn't the brightest idea
As cops [C] appear in my driver's side [F] mirror
Oh [A] god, police!
Hope Fox track, it's an aerial [G] shot of your burial [Fm] plot piece
New plan Stan, [D] Slim
Shoving this [A] pig, drove in this big Lincoln [E] town car
Well, gotta go, almost [F] at the bridge
[D] Big bro is for you, [A] Slim
This is for him and Frank [C] Ocean
Oh, hope you can [Gb] swim good
Now say you hate holes again
[Ebm] I also represent anyone on my receipt
And any of those jokes you were bidding
I'm the nightmare you fell asleep in [Bbm] and woke up still in
I'm your karma closing in [Gb] with each stroke of a pen
[Bbm]
Perfect [B] time to have some remorse to show for your sin
Nope, it's [Abm] hopeless, I'm left denied that your hope [B] is the end
When they say all of this [Eb] is approaching its [Db] end
But you refuse to believe that it's over
Here we go all over again
Next to the wall [Ebm] I'm stacking up all of my [Bb] toilet's clogged
Yeah, cause I'm [Eb] talking a lot of shit
But I'm [Ebm] backing it all up [Db] right in my head
There's a voice in the back and it hollers
After the track is demolished
I am your lack of a conscience
I'm [B] the ringing in your ears
I'm the pallets on the back of your tonsils
Eating your book, of course, after your conscience
[Db] I'm your time that's almost up that you haven't acknowledged
Grabbed for some water, but I'm that bill that's too tight to swallow
[Ebm] I'm the bullies you hate, hit you [Bb] became
With every [Eb] faggot you slaughtered
Coming back on you, every woman [Ebm] you insulted
Badder than the [Gb] double standard you had when it [Db] comes to your daughters
I represent everything you take for [Gb] granted
Cause Marshall Mathers, the Ramblers, [B]
Posadas
Half a facade of Matthew and Stans
Just symbolic [Abm] of you not knowing what you [B] had till it's gone
Cause after [Db] all the glitz and the glam
No more fans that are calling your name
Cameras are off, sad, but it happens to all of you
[Ebm] I'm the hindsight that said I told you [Bb] so
For what shadows [Eb] of all the things that are to [Ebm] follow
I'm the future [Gb] that's here to show you what happens [Db] tomorrow
If you don't stop after they call you
Because laughing's like a rap who can't call it quits
When it's time to walk away, I'm every guilt trip
The baggage you had, but as you gather up all your [Gb] possessions
If there's anything [Db] you have left to say
Next thing makes an impact, then don't bother
So for your rest in case, better make sure you're packing a wallop
[Eb] So, one last time, I'm back for AIDS in [Ebm] the black
And it's all over, [Ebm] behold the final chapter in the saga
[Bbm] Trying to recapture [Bb] that lightning trapped in a [Gb] bottle
Twice the magic that [B] started it all
Tragic portrait of an artist tortured
Trapped [Abm] in his own drawings, tapping to thoughts
[Ab] Blacker and darker than anything [Db] imaginable
He goes wild, stab in the dark
Unh, as he
