[G] [A] Once upon a time I was somebody [Cm] else in another life.
I sold [G] myself way back then, back when [D] I was you.
[A] Somewhere down the line I started to [C] slip.
Years gone by, [D] but it ain't [G] my lip.
All the while, all this [A] time I've [Gm] been alone.
[F] [G] [A] Now you're on your own, one for the [C] pages.
It's all about the hell that threw the [G] ages.
Does my heaven burn like [D] hell on you?
[G] [A] Now plenty of cracks, they're coming in [Cm] waves.
Don't look like an earthquake, brother, the [G] pavement.
Yeah, they now tell me [D] it's the truth.
You got [A] a lot of [Ab] [G]
[Ab] [A] hurt, [Ab] hurt, [G] hurt.
[F] Now [G] show a little backbone, [C] what I'm feeling.
[F] I'm looking for some [C] backhand for you.
Are [F] you feeling the same [D] as I'm now [F] and now [C] and then?
[F] I'm looking for some backhand [C] for you.
Are you feeling the same [D] as I've been now [F]
and
[G] [A] All the night that I waited and [C] waited.
How does life get so [G] complicated?
Secrets to reveal, secrets to [D] spill down the [G] hill.
[F] [G] [A] You're in the headlines, spoked in the [C] wheel.
You won't pretend I'm ain't [G] for real.
I'm taking it back, [C] on my [D] eye of yule.
You got [A] a lot [Ab] of [G] [Ab] hurt, [A]
[Ab] hurt, hurt.
