[Intro]
E  Em E Esus4 E
[Verse]
ELike a trick candle I won’t ever blow out
EI can silence a room before I open my mouth
EI’m book learned baby but I’m street smart
Well...that’s a F#mlie, but it sounds Enice
EI’m weatherproof baby like a Joshua tree
EI couldn’t care less what you think of me
EIt’s not about fame it’s about the art
Well...that’s a F#mlie, but it sounds Enice
[Chorus]
ADon’t look too close you might find me Eout
AStay out there or you’ll see what I’m aEbout
ADraw those shades, keep the G#7wool over your C#meyes C#m/Cuntil IC#m/B…Bbdim7  
F#mWhat a world it would be if I could B7buy and stop selling Elies
[Verse]
EI’m the oldest of souls, yeah I’ve been here before
EGot the faith of the south and the sense of the north
EI always walk straight yeah I know the way
Well...that’s a F#mlie, but it sounds Enice
[Chorus]
ADon’t look too close you might find me Eout
AStay out there or you’ll see what I’m aEbout
ADraw those shades, keep the G#7wool over your C#meyes C#m/Cuntil IC#m/B…Bbdim7  
F#mWhat a world it would be if I could B7buy and stop selling Elies
[Verse]
EI don’t get lazy and I never give up
EI don’t keep track how much is in my cup
EI don’t have to win it’s just fun to play
Well...that’s a F#mlie, but it sounds Enice
[Chorus]
ADon’t look too close you might find me Eout
AStay out there or you’ll see what I’m aEbout
ADraw those shades, keep the G#7wool over your C#meyes C#m/Cuntil IC#m/B…Bbdim7  
F#mWhat a world it would be if I could B7buy and stop selling Elies
