I've been sitting here trying [C] to find myself, get [Bb] behind myself, I need to [F] rewind myself,
looking for the payback, listening [C] to the playback, [Bb] they say every man bleeds just [F] like
me, and I feel like number one, [C] even when I'm last in line, [Bb] I hold my youngest son,
[F] helps to pass the time, I take too many pills, [C] trying to ease the pain,
I [Bb] made a couple dollar bills, but I [F] still act the same,
everybody knows my name, they [C] yell it way out loud,
[Bb] people try to comfort me, but it's hard to hang out in a [F] crowd,
guess that's the price you pay, to be some [C] big star like I am,
[Bb] that's strength stands and one night stands, but still I can't buy [F] love, no I can't buy [Eb] love,
[Bb] no I can't buy [F] love,
[Dm] when it all comes tumbling [C] down,
[Dm] I will always be [C] around, people don't know [C] about the things I say and do,
[Bb] they don't understand [F] all the hard times I've been through, it's been so long [C] since I've been home,
[Bb] I've been gone now, I've been gone much too [F] long, maybe I forgot [C] all the things I miss,
[Bb] but in my heart I know there's gotta be more to life than this,
[Eb] more life than this,
[F]
[Dm] more life than this, when it all comes [C] tumbling down,
[Dm] I will still be [C] hanging around, [F] I've said it so many times [C] and I still stand firm,
[Bb] you can't put your foot in giving these people what they deserve, giving [F] them what they deserve,
I ain't seen life [C] for days and nights, [Bb] my life is a stage [F] full of flashing lights,
people talk about me [C] but I don't try, [Bb] just keep on walking with [F] my head held high,
I can't lose it all, [C] but only God knows, only God [F] knows why, why, [Eb] why, why, [Bb] only God [F] knows why,
I've been sitting here [C] trying to find myself, I need [Bb] to get behind myself, I need [F] to rewind myself,
looking for the payback, listening [C] to the playback, [Bb] they say every man bleeds just [F] like
me, and I feel like number one, [C] even when I'm last in line, [Bb] I hold my youngest son,
