[E]
[B]
[A]
[E] [F#]
I've been sitting here trying [B] to find myself I get [A] behind myself I need to [E] rewind myself
Looking for the payback, listen [B] for the playback
They say [A] that every man bleeds just [E] like me
And I feel like number one, yet [B] I'm last in line
I watch [A] my youngest son and it helps [E] to pass the time
I take too many pills, it helps [B] to ease the pain
I made a [A] couple dollars, still [E] I feel the same
Everybody knows my name, they say [B] I'm way out of line
A lot of [A] folk fuck with me, it's hard to [E] hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay to be [D] some big shot like a mogul
I [A] stand on my stage, [E] still I can't find love
[C#m]
And [F#] when you walk on down,
[C#m]
I [F#] will love [A] you now
[F#m] [E]
[B]
[F#] [E]
[B]
[Em]
[A] And [E]
[D#] [C#m]
[F#] when you walk on down, [C#m] I [F#] will always [A] be around
[F#]
[E] People don't know about [B] the things I say
They [D] don't [A] understand about the shit [E] that I've been through
[B]
[A] I've been gone, I've been gone [E] for way too long
Maybe I forgot all [B] the things I miss
[A] Oh, somehow I know there's more [E] to life than this
I've said it too many times [B] and I still stand firm
[A] You get what you put in, [E] and people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine, no [D] I ain't seen mine
[A] I've been giving, I just ain't been getting
I've [E] been walking through their lives
So I think I'll keep walking with [B] my head held high
I [A] keep moving on, [E] no swipes
Only God knows [B]
[A]
[E] why
[D]
[A]
[E]
[D] [A]
[E] Don't you ever, don't you take me [D] too far [A] Yeah, yeah
[E] [D] [A]
