Man I Used To Be

Gm Things that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em Gm Secrets below the service of truth I hid 'em Gm This mankind is past, but can he erase Gm F The tears of a million years is human race Eb Of animals, that taught to walk upright Eb Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night Eb Flowing the planet, trying to find missing links Eb F Like the men we used to be and always suppose to think Gm Mysteries, maybe not Gm It's getting hot, we better configure the plot, but Gm I hold a pen with the grip so tight Gm F Eb That's squeeze the ink out'ta the page, and write a song for the people Eb Eb Came up from the underground, now I write above on a hovercraft sound Eb This microphone, like an an amphetamine Eb Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams F Gm So nature can intervene, just for a scene Gm I tried it, I couldn't find it Gm F Eb Now I just wanna get back to me Eb Eb Awe baby, hoo hoo Eb F Gm Back into the man I used to be Gm 3x) F Eb 3x) F Gm I walk the long path alone, my feet hurt Gm Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt Gm I went to church, I tried everything Gm F From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing Eb For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers Eb Had been across the universe and inside of flowers Eb Eb But what is it worth, I'm still just a man on the earth F Rappers are acting like man tan Gm Can I be candid, I can't stand it Gm Rap bandit, got Kheaven acting frantic Gm I wanna swing my sword decapitate Gm F But what is a man if he acts like an ape Eb So I sit back, planning my great escape Eb Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate Eb Eb The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me F Gm So what is reality, I don't know CHORUS* I tried it, I couldn't find it | | Now I just wanna get back to me | | Do not play hear, just clean vocals and piano. Awe baby, hoo hoo | | Back into the man I used to be | Gm 4x) Eb 3x) Eb F Back into the man I use to be Gm 4x) F Eb 3x) Eb F Back into the man I use to be Gm 4x) F Eb 3x) I tried it, I couldn't find it * Let the last few Eb's fade out
