Man I Used to Be Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I tried it, I couldn't find it
Now I just wanna [D]get back [C]to me[Em]
Aw [C]baby, [Em]hoo, [C]hoo
[Em]Back[C] into the man [D]I used to be[Em]
I tried it, I couldn't find it
Now I just wanna [D]get back [C]to me
Aw baby, hoo, hoo
Back into the [D]man I used to be

[Verse 2]
[Em]Things that I said I wouldn't do,
I did 'em
Secrets below the surface
of truth I hid 'em
This mankind is past,
but can he erase
The tears of a million [D]years
is human [Em]race
[C]Of animals,
that taught to walk up[Em]right
[C]Then slave all day and fall
in a trance at night
Flowing the planet, tryna find missing links
Like the men we used to be and
[D]are we supposed to think
[Em]Mysteries, maybe not
It's getting hot,
we better configure the plot, but
I hold a pen with the grip so tight
That'll squeeze the ink out [D]of the page,
and write a song for the people
Came up from the underground,
now [A]I write above [D]on a hover[C]craft sound
This microphone,
like an an amphetamine
Keeping me clean, speaking [D]in dreams
So [C]nature can in[Em]tervene, just for a scene

[Verse 3]
I tried [Em]it, I couldn't find it
Now I just wanna [D]get back [C]to me
Aw baby, hoo, hoo
[Em]Back[C] into the man [D]I used to be
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[D]
[C][Em][C][D]

[Verse 4]
I walk [Em]the long path alone, my feet hurt
Lost some friends along the way,
I did dirt
I went to church, I tried everything
From leaving my body,
to [D]watching the birds sing
[C]For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers
Had been across the universe
and inside of flowers
But what is it worth? I'm still just
a man on the earth
When rappers are [D]acting like man tan
[Em]Can I be candid? I can't stand it
Rap bandit, got Kevin acting frantic
I wanna swing my sword, decapitate
But what is a man if [D]he acts like an ape?
So [C]I sit back,
planning my great escape
Load up my EPS and peruse
my record crate
The man I used to be,
I can only see by looking beyond me
So [D]what is reality? I don't [Em]know

[Verse 5]
I tried [Em]it, I couldn't find it
Now I just wanna [D]get back to [C]me
Aw baby, hoo, hoo
[Em]Back into the [D]man I used to

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 7]
[C]Back into the [D]man I used [Em]to be
I tried it, I couldn't find [D]it[C]
[Em]Aw b[C]aby, hoo, hoo, hoo
[Em]Oops, wrong

[Verse 8]
[C#]song, stop it, stop it
You [Em]know what?[C]
I woke up in the [Em]mornin'
[Bm]I took a trip [C#]to the corner
[C]store
That's when I heard my [Bm]calling
But I'd never heard [C#]the
voice of truth be[C]fore
So I kept on [Em]walking
[Bm]Pretende[C#]d I didn't see[C]
[Em]Walked by a win[D]dow and my
reflec[Bm]tion said [C#]to me
You could [C]try all the same
But [Bm]you'll never know
this [C#]mystery
There's no [C]pilot on your plane
[Bm]So you're not the man you used to be[C#]
[C]Try all the game,
[Em]but you'll never[D] know this[Bm] mystery[C#]
When your [C]pilot has no plane
[D]Said you're the man you [C#]used to be seen
[C]Holler and you holla, you follow, you fall
[Bm]You holler and you holla, fol [C#]low, you fall[C]
You holler and you holla,
you follow, you [Bm]fall
You holler and you holla, [C#]fol low, you f[Em]all
You holler and you holla,
you follow, you [Bm]fall
You holler and you holla, follow, you [C#]fall
Yo, [C]microphones get ripped
holdin' us back
K dash rock[Bm]in' it out,
[C#]rockin' the coldest style
Mak[C]ing it up, go along singing my song
Woke up[D], in the e[Bm]arly morn' did
[C#]n't know what was going [C]on
Whatever, I don't really know
Flows like an immaculate
goat what up, whatever
