E                                 B
I've been sittin?here, tryin?to find myself
         A                         E
Get behind myself, I need to rewind myself.

                    E                     B
Lookin?for the payback, listen to the playback
                   A                                    E
They say that every man bleeds just like me.
                   
            E                             B
And I feel like number one, even when I'm last in line
             A                                 E
I hold my youngest son, helps to pass the time.
             E                          B
I take too many pills, tryin?to ease the pain
                         A                              E
I made a couple of dollar bills, I still act the same

                E                     B
Everybody knows my name, they yell it way out loud
A                                        E
People try to comfort me, but it's hard to hang out in a crowd
E                                  B
I guess that's the price you pay, to be some big star like I am
A                 
Outstreched stands and one night stands
             E     
Still I can't buy love
            D   A                         E
No I can?t buy love, no I can?t buy love

C#m                    B                                    
When it all comes tumbling down
C#m                 B        
I will always be around

E                       B
People don't know about the things I say and do
          A                                      E
They don't understand about the hard times that I've been through
     E                            B            
It's been so long, since I've been home
A                                                E       
I've been gone now....I've been gone much too long
E                                         B
Maybe I forgot, all things I miss
      A                                                       E
But in my heart I know there's more to life than this
D                 A
More to life than this

C#m                           B
And when it all comes tumbling down
C#m                         B        
I will still be hangin?around
E                                B
I said it too many times, and I still stand firm
        A (electric till last verse)      
You get what you put in, givin?these people get what they deserve
                           E
Givin?them what they deserve

 E                 B
Still I ain't seen light, for days and nights
 A                           E
My life is a stage full of flashing lights 
                                         B
People talk about me, but I don?t cry
A                           E
Just keep on walking, with my head held high
E                      B                                         E
I can?t lose it all but Only God Knows, Only God Knows Why
                   D   A                           E
Why, why, why, Only God Knows Why

E                                  B
I've been sittin?here, tryin?to find myself
           A                        E
Get behind myself, I need to rewind myself.
