[Chorus 1]
[Em]Too late[D] for the other[C] side[Em]
[G]Caught in a [D]chase, twenty- [C]five to [Em]life
Too [D]late for the [C]other [Em]side
[G]Caught in a [D]chase, twenty- [C]five to [Em]life
Too [D]late
(I can't [C]keep chasin' [Em]you
I'm takin' my life back)
[G]Caught in a [D]chase, twenty- [C]five to [Em]life

[Verse 1]
I don't think she understands
the [D]sacrifices that I've made
[C]Maybe if this bitch had [Em]acted right,
I would've stayed
But I've al[G]ready wasted
over [D]half my life, I would've laid
Down and [C]died for you,
I no longer [Em]cry for you, no more pain
Bitch, you took me for granted
[D]Took my heart and ran it
straight into the [C]planet
Into the [Em]dirt, I can no longer stand it
Now my [G]respect, I demand it
[D]I'ma take control of this relationship
com[C]mand it
And I'ma [Em]be the boss of you now, goddamn it
And what I mean is that
I will [D]no longer let you control me
[C]So you better hear me [Em]out
this much you owe me
I gave up my [G]life for you
totally de[D]voted to you, I have stayed
Faithful [C]all the way
this is [Em]how I fuckin' get repaid?
Look at how I dress
fuckin' [D]baggy sweats, go to work a mess
[C]Always in a rush to [Em]get back to you
I ain't heard you yet
Not [G]even once say you ap[D]preciate me
I deserve respect
[C]I've done my best to giv[Em]e you
nothin' less than perfectness
And I know that if I end [D]this
I'll no longer have nothin' left
But [C]you keep treatin' me like [Em]a staircase
it's time to fuckin' step
[G]And I won't be comin'[D] back
so don't hold your fuckin' breath
[C]You know what you've done
no [Em]need to go in-depth
I told you you'd be sorry if I fuckin' [D]left,
I'd laugh while you wept
How's it [C]feel now? Yeah, [Em]funny, ain't it?
You neglected me
[G]Did me a favor tho[D]ugh
my spirit free, you've set
But a [C]special place for you
in [Em]my heart, I have kept

[Chorus 2]
It's unfortu-
(nate, but it's) Too [G/D]late
for the [C]other [Em]side (yeah)
[G]Caught in a [D]chase,
twenty- [C]five to [Em]life (Can't take no more)
Too [G/D]late for the o[C]ther s[Em]ide
[G]Caught in a [D]chase, twenty- [C]five to [Em]life

[Verse 2]
I feel like when [Em]I bend over
backwards [D]for you
All you do is laugh
'cause that ain't [C]good enough
You expect [Em]me to fold myself
in half 'til I [G]snap
Don't think I'm [D]loyal, all I do is rap
How can I [C]moonlight on the side?
I [Em]have no life outside of that
Don't I give you enough of my [D]time?
You don't think so, do you?
Jealous [C]when I spend time with the [Em]girls,
why I'm married to you still?
Man, [G]I don't know, but ton[D]ight
I'm serving you with papers
I'm di[C]vorcing you, go marry
[Em]someone else and make 'em famous
And take away their freedom
[D]like you did to me
Treat 'em like you [C]don't need 'em
and they ain't [Em]worthy of you
Feed 'em the same [G]shit
that you made me eat
[D]I'm moving on, forget you
Oh, [C]now I'm special?
I ain't [Em]feel special when I was with you
All I ever felt was this [D]helplessness
Imprisoned by a [C]selfish bitch
chew me [Em]up and spit me out, I fell for this
so [G]many times, it's ridiculous
[D]And still I stick with this, I'm sick of thi[C]s
But in my sickness [Em]and addiction
you're addictive as they get
Evil as they [D]come
vindictive as they make 'em
[C]My friends keep askin' me
[Em]why I can't just walk away from
I'm ad[G]dicted to the pain
[D]the stress, the drama, I'm drawn to
Shit, I [C]guess I'm a [Em]mess, cursed and blessed
But this time I ain't changin' my mind
[D]I'm climbin' out this abyss
You're [C]screamin' as I walk that [Em]I'll be missed
But when you spoke of peo[G]ple
who meant the most to [D]you
You left me off your list
Fuck you, [C]hip hop, I'm leavin' [Em]you
My life sentence is served, bitch

[Chorus 3]
(And it's just) Too [D]late for the [C]other [Em]side
[G]Caught in a [D]chase,
twenty- [C]five to [Em]life (I'm gone, man)
Too [D]late for the [C]other [Em]side
[G]Caught in a [D]chase, twenty- [C]five to [Em]life
Too [D]late...[C][Em]
[G]Caught in a [D]chase, twenty- [C]five to [Em]life
