[Verse 1]
ENow I have a nagging flaw I never saw it sneaking up
It Bwrapped it's dirty arms around me
Pockets full of blood
After EI had seen the sight I hardly had a choice to fight
A Bnail snuck out behind the van and it hit me
(B)
Through my sweater and my shirt
EAnd when I looked at Michael he heard "I need to be alone"
BBut when he turned his head I soon corrected "Need to be at home"
EIt took me all this time to get where I said I would never be
BI hope it's not even out there
I hope eventuallEy you'll see what F#you've been turning Bme F#intEo
            E     Eb   B(palm muted)
It's all for you
[Verse 2]
It feels like E37 years and I am nothing but a bank
If we could Bbuild our credit score "Incredible," they'll surely say
But EI can credit only one to focus all the fame
It has the fBirst and last even the middle of my very name
I am the Egreatest man that never lived and now I never sleep
        (E)
I never lost a fight but never knew I started one the same
I never knew how capable I would Ebbecome
BI'm tired of talking Eto a wall Bwhen I could talk to someone elF#se
It's got Eseven days without a word
And Byou're with someone somewhere eF#lse

EWe spent the most of nights defending fights you fought in the past
BBut it was different now and I'm entirely too drunk to ask

[Verse 1]

Now I have a nagging flaw I never saw it sneaking up

It wrapped it's dirty arms around me

Pockets full of blood

After I had seen the sight I hardly had a choice to fight

A nail snuck out behind the van and it hit me

()

Through my sweater and my shirt

And when I looked at Michael he heard "I need to be alone"

But when he turned his head I soon corrected "Need to be at home"

It took me all this time to get where I said I would never be

I hope it's not even out there

E F# B F# E

I hope eventually you'll see what you've been turning me into

E Eb B

(palm muted)

It's all for you

[Verse 2]

It feels like 37 years and I am nothing but a bank

If we could build our credit score "Incredible," they'll surely say

But I can credit only one to focus all the fame

It has the first and last even the middle of my very name

I am the greatest man that never lived and now I never sleep

()

I never lost a fight but never knew I started one the same

I never knew how capable I would become

B E B F#

I'm tired of talking to a wall when I could talk to someone else

It's got seven days without a word

And you're with someone somewhere else
