VERSE
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
GmF
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
EbF
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
GmFEb
That's squeeze the ink out'ta the page, and write a song for the people
EbEb
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
FGm
So nature can intervene, just for a scene
CHORUS
Gm
I tried it, I couldn't find it
GmFEb
Now I just wanna get back to me
EbEb
Awe baby, hoo hoo
EbFGm
Back into the man I used to be

VERSE 2
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
GmF
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
EbEb
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
GmF
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
EbEb
The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me
FGm
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 |
