For the A that is being played, just slide the G# a fret and it sounds better, plus its easier to do.

[Hook]
EYou fixed the presC#ment to the pastG#  
‘Cause yAou wanted it to last
EYou overdose some C#mmemoriesG#  
Makes your Amind so empty
So gEive up the act, you kC#mnow we’re throuG#gh
And tAhere is nothing left to do
EYou found that I’m tracC#mking nothing newG#  
And that’s wAhy I am telling you
ENo, no, noC#m, no, no, no, G#no I never wAill go
EAnd I know, I knowC#m, I know, I know, I know, G#I know
That I neAver will know
[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]
Jimmy wishes he could have heEr back
But Jenny says she's hC#mad enough
He must have tried a huG#ndred times
But something just ain't addAin' up
She says all the timeEs he lied
Would be hundreds if she'd adC#md them up
He says shes a bitch G#and laughs
While all his homies daAp him up
Now she goes back to schEool again
And he goes back to rC#mappin' now
Heard she got a duG#de again
But you can't hear him laugAhin' now
See he's got women everywheEre
He just isn't hapC#mpy now
She just can't imG#agine
After everything that happeAned now
Now he back by himseElf now
Don't need nobody hC#melp now
Moment off a meltdG#own
But can't nobody telAl now
See he just holds himsEelf down
The drugs don't seem to C#mhelp now
Used to hate the feelinG#g
Really he just hates himsEelf now
Don't feel the way he C#mfelt now
Sometimes he can't feel nothG#ing at all
He stands tall
Just to hope he doesn't stumbAle and fall
SuspeEnded in time
Like a clock stC#muck in the wall
Alone wishG#ing' he had someone to calAl
[Chorus x2]
Thinkin' I thought we'd be famEous
Thought we'd be paiC#mnless
But I learned my lesG#son
Learned my lesAson
Learned to go through these chanEges
Go through these chaC#mnges
And I earned my blesG#sings
Earned my blessiAngs

[Intro]

E C#m G# A

(4x)

[Hook]

E C#m G#

You fixed the present to the past

‘Cause you wanted it to last

E C#m G#

You overdose some memories

Makes your mind so empty

E C#m G#

So give up the act, you know we’re through

And there is nothing left to do

E C#m G#

You found that I’m tracking nothing new

And that’s why I am telling you

E C#m G# A

No, no, no, no, no, no, no I never will go

E C#m G#

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

That I never will know

[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]

Jimmy wishes he could have her back

C#m

But Jenny says she's had enough

He must have tried a hundred times

But something just ain't addin' up

She says all the times he lied

C#m

Would be hundreds if she'd add them up

He says shes a bitch and laughs

While all his homies dap him up

Now she goes back to school again

C#m

And he goes back to rappin' now

Heard she got a dude again

But you can't hear him laughin' now

See he's got women everywhere

C#m

He just isn't happy now

She just can't imagine

After everything that happened now

Now he back by himself now

C#m

Don't need nobody help now

Moment off a meltdown

But can't nobody tell now

See he just holds himself down

C#m

The drugs don't seem to help now

Used to hate the feeling

Really he just hates himself now

C#m

Don't feel the way he felt now

Sometimes he can't feel nothing at all

He stands tall

Just to hope he doesn't stumble and fall

Suspended in time

C#m

Like a clock stuck in the wall

G# A

Alone wishing' he had someone to call

[Chorus x2]

Thinkin' I thought we'd be famous

C#m

Thought we'd be painless

But I learned my lesson

Learned my lesson

Learned to go through these changes

C#m

Go through these changes

And I earned my blessings

Earned my blessings

(CHANGE UP STRUMMING PATTERN FOR SOLO)

Earned my

C#m

Earned my

Earned my blessings

E C#m G# A

When I was young I looked at my father

E C#m G# A

He told me truth will take you farther

E C#m G# A

And as you grow, oh it will get much harder

E C#m G# A

So hold on and tread the water

And he said

E C#m G# A

Remember your dreams

E C#m G# A

Remember your dreams

E C#m G# A

Remember your dreams

E C#m G# A

Remember your dreams

[Chorus x2]

Thinkin' I thought we'd be famous

C#m

Thought we'd be painless

But I learned my lesson

Learned my lesson

Learned to go through these changes

C#m

Go through these changes

And I earned my blessings

Earned my blessings

[EXIT]

E C#m

Earned my

G# A

Earned my blessings
