                 G                                    D

    I get behind myself, I need to rewind myself.

                                                                  A

    Lookin’ for the payback, listen for the playback,

                          G                                        D

    they say that every man bleeds just like me.

2. And now I feel like number one, yet I'm last in line,

                        G                                           D

    I watch my youngest son and it helps to pass the time.

                                                       A

    a lot of folks fuck with me, it's hard to hang out in crowds.

    outskirt stands and one night stands,       still I can't find love.

4. People don't know about the things I say and do,

                      C               - G                               D

    they don't understand       about the shit that I've been through.

5. Maybe I forgot all things I miss,

            G                                                D

    oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this.

                                                     A

    I said it too many times, and I still stand firm,

            G                                      D

    you get what you put in, and people get what they deserve.

 

              D                              C

    Still I ain't seen mine, no I ain't seen mine,

                     G                                                       

    I've been giving just, ain't been getting,

                      D

    I've been walking down that line.
