[Chorus]

D Dm    D Dm     D Dm      Bb A
If I could be somebody else
D Dm         D Dm     D Dm              Bb A
Lie for me, I can't tell who it would be
D Dm     D Dm     D Dm               Bb A
If all I ever wanted was to be myself
D Dm          D Dm            D Dm      Bb A
Lately they say that's what's killin' me
Bbmaj7          C                 Dm                    C
Say goodbye and when I'm gone make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Bb              A                 Dm
Say goodbye and when I'm gone make a home made drum and beat it with my bones


[Verse 1]

D Dm                 D Dm
I've wined and dined with kings and queens
D Dm               Bb          A
Sat in cold alleys eatin' pork and beans
D Dm                        D Dm
I've reached for the stars, yeah I've chased that dream
D Dm               Bb          A
Ran with the scar, with the scabs and schemes
D Dm                 D Dm                          D Dm
What can I say one with an adventure, rough spirit ever
               Bb             A                           D Dm
Since I can remember had a needle hidin' behind my sternum
                    D Dm
Like digging in the back of my psyche
D Dm               Bb                    A
Old folks lookin' thinkin' is he stupid? He might be
Bb                          C
That boy he marchin' to the beat of a different tuba
Dm                            C
I do believe that may be true but every time I do
Bb                     A                     Dm
Ima do it while y'all sit talkin' that manure


[Chorus]

D Dm    D Dm     D Dm      Bb A
If I could be somebody else
D Dm         D Dm     D Dm              Bb A
Lie for me, I can't tell who it would be
D Dm     D Dm     D Dm               Bb A
If all I ever wanted was to be myself
D Dm          D Dm            D Dm      Bb A
Lately they say that's what's killin' me
Bbmaj7          C                 Dm                    C
Say goodbye and when I'm gone make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Bb              A                 Dm
Say goodbye and when I'm gone make a home made drum and beat it with my bones


[Verse 2]

D Dm                    D Dm
No good job, go get em' tiger, no 'atta a boy
D Dm                     Bb              A
Necessary, I'm a fighter till I'm in the cemetery
D Dm                    D Dm
Writen and forgotten, go for broke and still get dope
D Dm                         Bb           A
Still standin' arms crossed, you know the pose
D Dm                    D
Cameras zoomin' in till it stops at my nose... snot
D Dm                Bb           A
Gonna change, I'm a dirty little booger,
D Dm              D Dm
I'm in the liquor and filthy lucre
D Dm                                      Bb    A
I'm doing nook em' in a crowd full of bar pukers
Bb                        C
and cougars with nostrils like hoovers
Dm                     C                      Bb                 A
All fucked up like the last stall at the club by the mall at the last call
Dm
Assholes and opinions


[Chorus]

D Dm    D Dm     D Dm      Bb A
If I could be somebody else
D Dm         D Dm         D Dm         Bb A
Lie for me, I can't tell who it would be
D Dm     D Dm        D Dm            Bb A
If all I ever wanted was to be myself
D Dm          D Dm            D Dm      Bb A
Lately they say that's what's killin' me
Bbmaj7          C                 Dm                    C
Say goodbye and when I'm gone make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Bb              A                 Dm
Say goodbye and when I'm gone make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
