UltimateGuitar is ruining my placement of the chords in terms of what word the chord 
changes actually happen on. But just listen to the song and it's not too hard to figure 
out. Very easy song to play/sing once you get the hang of it.
Capo 4:  F-  Em- Am  
	FIf yoEmu asked mAme what's on my mind you probably won't believe it
	FCause if life Emwas one bAmig pool I'd be in the deep end
	FSo I plaEmy my roAmle and never ever speak it, like a secret
	FAnd all the wEmhile you just juAmst to figure me out
(Chorus)
But you Fcan't see past my shades
PaEmst my shades
PaAmst my shades
And you Fcan't see past my shades
PaEmst my shades
PaAmst my shades
And you Fcan't see past my shades
PaEmst my shades
PaAmst my shades
And you Fcan't see past my shades
PaEmst my shades
PaAmst my shades
Well ask Fme a quesEmtion I tell you no lies
Cause Amthere's nothing to hide my souls in my eyes
And I'm Fahead of Emmy time but I cannot rewind
The only Amthing I fear is the mirror in my bathroom
FPeople look and Emtry to see a disguise
But Amthere is nothing that nobody can't see in light
If it'Fs a sonEmg with a rhyme or a verse with a line
TheAmn you understand my mind
(Chorus)
	FUhEm, who else but Lu else
	AmYou know I got tFwo belts the black and the white one
	EmI begin and I master
	AmI see in my eye glasses
FBut they Emsayin' what I'm seeing through is false like Ross
	AmI can hear him through the wall like walk
FThis way they Emtryin' to dissuade my thoughts
I'm Ama slave to myself and disobey my boss
ItF's all Emin disarray this parade I walk
ThAmey get amazed when they catch a chain I toss
AmFidst disarEmray of different ways I talk
And Amit hangs from your brain if my chain you caught
	FLike I cough Emwithout covering my mouth
	AmI tip the scales like the King of the south
FForgot thaEmt I was fat I lost my way
But noAmw I'm back looking for the shade I sought
	FAnd noEmt wonders, I'm Scott Summers
	AmSo don't make me take off my stunners
	FBobby EmRay you know you got my numbers
AAmnd dem dere can't see us like hunters
*^That line is "And them there can't see us like hunters" in every lyric search on the 
internet. But to get the pun out of it, you have to say it like he says it in the song.
(Chorus)
FLa la la laEm

You can't see past my shades

F Em Am

Capo 4: - -

F Em Am

If you asked me what's on my mind you probably won't believe it

F Em Am

Cause if life was one big pool I'd be in the deep end

F Em Am

So I play my role and never ever speak it, like a secret

F Em Am

And all the while you just just to figure me out

(Chorus)

But you can't see past my shades

Past my shades

And you can't see past my shades

Past my shades

And you can't see past my shades

Past my shades

And you can't see past my shades

Past my shades

F Em

Well ask me a question I tell you no lies

Cause there's nothing to hide my souls in my eyes

F Em

And I'm ahead of my time but I cannot rewind

The only thing I fear is the mirror in my bathroom

F Em

People look and try to see a disguise

But there is nothing that nobody can't see in light

F Em

If it's a song with a rhyme or a verse with a line

Then you understand my mind

(Chorus)

F Em

Uh, who else but Lu else

Am F

You know I got two belts the black and the white one

I begin and I master

I see in my eye glasses

F Em

But they sayin' what I'm seeing through is false like Ross

I can hear him through the wall like walk

F Em

This way they tryin' to dissuade my thoughts

I'm a slave to myself and disobey my boss

F Em

It's all in disarray this parade I walk

They get amazed when they catch a chain I toss

F Em

Amidst disarray of different ways I talk

And it hangs from your brain if my chain you caught

F Em

Like I cough without covering my mouth

I tip the scales like the King of the south

F Em

Forgot that I was fat I lost my way

But now I'm back looking for the shade I sought

F Em

And not wonders, I'm Scott Summers

So don't make me take off my stunners

F Em

Bobby Ray you know you got my numbers

And dem dere can't see us like hunters
