Capo on 5th
VERSE 1:
I was Bmborn in that summer when the Gsun didn't shine
I was giDven a name that doesn't F#mfeel like it's mine
Lived my Bmlife as the good boy I was Gtold I should be
Prayed every Dnight to a religion that was F#mchosen for me 
PRE-CHORUS:
BmSold my soul, broke my bones, GTell me, what did I get? 
DDid my time, toed the line, F#mAin't seen anything yet
BmStrike me down to the ground, GYou know I've seen it before
DMake it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, F#mI just don't care anymore 
CHORUS:
BmHow could you break my heart? GAlready played my part 
DI kept my promise man, F#mShow me the promiseland 
BmDon't occupy my throne, GGive me the crown I own 
DLived like you told me howF#m, Look at me now 
I've got no Gmoney in my pocket 
And the F#whole world's bringing me down 
Bm D G
And the F#whole world's bringing me down
Bm D G F#
VERSE 2:
BmOne person's lie is just aGnother man's truth 
We kept on rDunning from the devil, but the F#mdevil was you
Every Bmtime I see the light, I'm falling Gdeeper in debt
If I've Dnever seen the good, how can I cF#mome to amend? 
PRE-CHORUS:
BmSold my soul, broke my bones, GTell me, what did I get? 
DDid my time, toed the line, F#mAin't seen anything yet
BmStrike me down to the ground, GYou know I've seen it before
DMake it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, F#mI just don't care anymore 
CHORUS:
BmHow could you break my heart? GAlready played my part 
DI kept my promise man, F#mShow me the promiseland 
BmDon't occupy my throne, GGive me the crown I own 
DLived like you told me howF#m, Look at me now 
I've got no Gmoney in my pocket
