[Intro]
F#mLately I've been Dhard to reach
EI've been too long oF#mn my own
F#mEverybody has their Dprivate world
Where they can Ebe alDone
DAre you callEing me?
Are you C#/E#trying to get F#mthrough?
Are you Dreaching out for me?
I'm Ereaching out for you
[Verse 1]
F#mI'm just so fucking depressed
I Ejust can't seem to get out this slump
If DI could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me C#mout this dump
I F#mtook my bruises, took my lumps
EFell down and I got right back up
But I Dneed that spark to get psyched back up
And in order for me to pick the C#mmic back up
I F#mdon't know how or why or when
I Eended up this position I'm in
I'm sDtarting to feel dissin' again
So I decided just to C#mpick this pen
F#mUp and try to make an attempt to Event
But I just can't admit
Or Dcome to grips with the fact
that I may be done with rap
I need a Enew outlet
And I F#mknow some shit's so hard to swallow
But EI can't just sit back and wallow
In Dmy own sorrow but I know one fact
I'll be one tough C#mact to follow
F#mOne tough act to follow
EI'll be one tough act to follow
DHere today, gone tomorrow
But you'd have to walk a Ethousand miles
[Chorus]
F#mIn my shoes, just to see
EWhat it's like, to be me
DI'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what C#mit'd be like
To F#mfeel your pain, you feel mine
EGo inside each others' minds
DJust to see what we'd find
Look at shit through C#meach others' eyes
F#mDon't let 'em Esay you ain't DbeautifulC#m
F#mThey can all get Efucked, just stay Dtrue to youE
F#mDon't let 'em Esay you ain't DbeautifulC#m
F#mThey can all get Efucked, just stay Dtrue to youE
[Verse 2]
I think I'm sF#mtarting to lose my sense of humor
EEverything's so tense and gloom
I Dalmost feel like I gotta check
the temperature of the room
C#mJust as soon as I F#mwalk in
it's like all eyes on me
And so EI try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if DI do that then it opens the door
For conversation, like EI want that
F#mI'm not looking for extra attention
EI just wanna be just like you
DBlend in with the rest of the room
Maybe just point me to the cloC#msest restroom
I don't F#mneed no fucking man servant
Trying to Efollow me around and wipe my ass
DLaugh at every single joke I crack
And half of 'em ain't even Efunny like
Ha! F#mMarshall you're so funny man
EYou should be a comedian, god damn!"
DUnfortunately I am
I just hide behind the C#mtears of a clown
F#mSo why don't you all sit down
EListen to the tale I'm about to tell
DHell we don't gotta trade our shoes
And you ain't gotta walk no thousand Emiles
[Chorus]
F#mIn my shoes, just to see
EWhat it's like, to be me
DI'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what C#mit'd be like
To F#mfeel your pain, you feel mine
EGo inside each others' minds
DJust to see what we'd find
Look at shit through C#meach others' eyes
F#mDon't let 'em Esay you ain't DbeautifulC#m
F#mThey can all get Efucked, just stay Dtrue to youE
F#mDon't let 'em Esay you ain't DbeautifulC#m
F#mThey can all get Efucked, just stay Dtrue to youE
[Verse 3]
F#mNobody asked for life to deal us
EWith these bullshit hands we're dealt
DWe gotta take these cards ourselves
And flip 'em, don't exC#mpect no help
F#mNow I could've either
just sat Eon my ass and pissed and moaned
Or Dtake this situation
in which I'm placed in
And get up and Eget my own
F#mI was never the type of kid
To Ewait by the door and pack his bags
I Dsat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to show up who C#mnever did
F#mI just wanted to fit in
Every Esingle place every school I went
I Ddreamed of being that cool kid
Even if it meant acEting stupid
And F#mEdna always told me
Keep making Ethat face and
it'll get stuck like that
DMeanwhile I'm just standing there
Holding my tongue tryna C#mtalk like that
F#m'Til I stuck my tongue on that
frozen sEtop sign pole
At 8 years old
I Dlearned my lesson then
'Cause I wasn't trying to
imEpress my friends no more
But I F#malready told you my whole life story
ENot just based on my description
Cause Dwhere you see it
from where you're sittin'
It's probably 1C#m10% different
F#mI guess we would have to walk a Emile
in each others shoes at least
What Dsize you wear? I wear 10's
Let's see if you can Efit your feet
[Outro]
F#mLately I've been Ehard to reach
DI've been too long on my ownE
F#mEverybody has their Eprivate world
Where they can Dbe aloneE
F#mAre you calling Eme?
Are you Dtrying to get through?C#m
Are you F#mreaching out for Eme?
DI'm reaching out fEor you
[Guitar Solo]

And to the rest of the world
DGod gave you shoes to fit youE
So F#mput 'em on and wear 'eEm

F#mEven if it sounds cornEy
Don't ever let anyone Dtell
E F#m E Dx4
