[F]
[Am] [B]
[Am] [B]
[F] I [E]
[Am] have no snare in my [E] head.
[Am] No, [B] [Am]
[B]
[F] [E] no.
[Am] [Ab]
[Am] Have you ever been hated [B] or discriminated against?
[Am] I have.
I've been [B] protested and demonstrated against.
[F] Take your time for my wicked [E] rhymes.
Look at the times.
[Am] Seize the mind of the motherfucking kid that's behind.
All this commotion, emotions [F] run deep as oceans exploding.
[Am] Zippers flaring from Paris, [Dm] it's blowing them off to keep going.
[F] Not taking nothing from no one, [E] give them hell long as I'm breathing.
[A] Kicking ass in the morning and taking names in the evening.
[Am] Leaving with the taste of sour [B] as vinegar in they mouth.
[Am] See, they can trickle me, but [B] they'll never figure me [F] out.
Look at me now.
I bet [A] you're probably sick of me now.
[Am] Ain't you, mama?
I'ma make you look so ridiculous now.
I'm sorry, mama.
[B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry, but tonight I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
One more time.
[Am] I said I'm sorry, mama.
[B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
[E] [Am] I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry, but tonight I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
I got some [Am] skeletons in my closet, and I don't know if no one knows it.
So before they throw me [B] inside my coffin and [F] close it, I'ma expose it.
I'll take [E] you back to 73, [Am] before I ever had a multi [Dm]-platinum selling CD.
[Am] I was a baby.
Maybe I was [B] just a couple of months.
My [Am] faggot father must have had his [Dm] panties up in a [F] bunch, cause he split.
I wonder if he [E] even kissed me goodbye.
[Am] No, I don't.
On second thought, I just fucking wish he [Ab] would die.
[Am] I look at Haley, and I couldn't [Dm] picture leaving her side, [Am] even if I hated Kim.
I [B] grit my teeth and I [F] try to make it work with her, at least for [E] Haley's sake.
I think I maybe made some [Am] mistakes, but I'm only human.
But I'm man enough to face them today.
What I did was [B] stupid, no doubt it [Am] was dumb.
But the smartest shit I did was take [B] the bullets out of that [F] gun, cause I'd have killed him.
Said I [E] would have shot Kim and them both.
It's [Am] my life.
I'd like to welcome y'all to the [E] Eminem Show.
I'm [Am] sorry, mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
[E] I never [F] meant to make you [E] cry, but tonight I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
One more time.
I said I'm [Am] sorry, mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
[E] I [F] never meant to make you [E] cry, but tonight I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
Now, I would [Am] never diss my own mama [B] just to get recognition.
[Am] Take a second to listen, fool, [B] you'd think this record is [F] dissing, but put yourself in my position.
[E] Just try to envision [Am] witnessing your mama popping [Dm] prescriptions, pills in your kitchen,
[Am] bitching that someone's always going [B] through a person, shit's missing,
going [Am] through public housing systems, [B] victim of Munchausen [F] syndrome.
My whole life I was made to [E] believe I was sick when I wasn't, [Am] till I grew up.
Now I blew up, [Dm] it makes you sick to your stomach, [Am] doesn't it?
Wasn't it the reason you [F] made that CD for me, ma?
[Am] Did you be trying to justify the [F] way you treated me, ma?
But guess what, you're getting older [E] now, and it's cold when you're lonely,
and [Am] Nathan's growing up so quick [D] he's gonna know that you're phony.
[Am] And Hailey's getting so big [B] now, you should see her, she's beautiful.
[Am] But you'll never see her, [F] she won't even be at your funeral.
See, what hurts me the most is you [E] won't admit you was wrong.
[A] Bitch, do your song, keep telling yourself that you was [E] a mom.
But [Am] how dare you try to take what you [F] didn't help me to get?
You [Am] selfish bitch, I hope you're fucking [F] burning hell for this shit.
Remember when Ronnie died and you [E] said you wished it was me?
Well, [Am] guess what, I am dead.
Dead to you as can be.
I'm sorry, mama, [B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
[E] [Bm] I never [F] meant to make you cry, [E] but tonight I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
One more time.
[E] I said I'm [Am] sorry, mama, [B] I never [Am] meant to hurt you.
[E] [F] I never meant to make you [E] cry, but tonight I'm cleaning [A] out my closet.
[Am] [B] [N]
