[E] As [Bm] [A] [E]
[A] [E] you take aim, [Bm] three, [D] [A] symphony at [E]
[Bm] last.
[D] [A] Chime [E] on me, [Bm] hands me, you slave [A] to money, then you [E] die.
[Bm] [D] [A] I'll [E] take you down, [Bm] we all [D] in, road [A] [E] up, hill down.
[Bm] [D] [A] You [E] know your one [Bm] hand takes you to [A] the places where all the [E] veins begin.
[D] [A] You know [E] I'm a trickster, [Em] you shake your [A] pussy, I can't shake it,
but [E] I feel you in [Bm] my mold, I [E] have you in [A] my mold.
And [E] I'm a million [Bm] billion people, my one [A] hand to the next,
and you [E] shake my [Bm] mold.
Oh no, no, [A] no, no.
[E] Have you ever been [Bm] down?
Whoa.
[A] Have you [E] ever been down?
[A] Well, [E] I'm never [Bm] afraid, but [A] you're not on my [E]
knees yet.
[Bm] [D] [A] I [E] need to hear [Bm] some [D] sounds that [A] recognize the pain [E] in me now.
[Bm] [D] [F#m] I [E] let the melody [Bm] shine, let [A] it cleanse my mind, I feel [E] free now.
[Bm] [D] [A] But [E] the airway's [Bm] so clean and [A] there's nobody singing [E] to me now.
[Bm] [A] Yeah, I [E] know I'm changed, I can't change, I [A] can't sing, I can't sing,
but [E] I'm here in [Bm] my mold, I [E] am here [A] in my mold.

[Bm] Well, it's [Em] been a while.
[A] Have you [E] ever been down?
[Bm] Well, [A] I'm never afraid, but you're not on my knees yet.
I get [E] to feel the [Bm] sweet, [A] you still find me that [E]
side.
[Bm] [A] Try [E] to make [Bm] ends meet, [D] you say [A] too good, and then [E] you die.
[Bm] [D] [A] I'll take you down, [Bm] the only [D] road [A] I've ever [E]
been [Bm] down.
[D] [A] You're the [E] one [D] that takes you to the places [A] where I'll [E] revenge me, yeah.
[Bm] [A] Yeah, I know [E]
I'm changed, [Bm] I can't change, I can't sing, I [A] can't sing,
but [E] I'm here in [Bm] my mold, I am here in [E] my mold.
And I'm a million [Bm] billion people, my one hand [A] to the [E] next,
I can't shake my mold.
Oh no, no, [A] no, no.

been [Bm] down.

My [E]
life, [Bm] your [D] life, [A] their [E]
lives.
