Myself Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em][E][Em]
[E]My [Em]parents got some
big money problems
We're all young and we're
[E]countin' on 'em
I'm four years [Em]old
You think I'm bouncing on 'em?
I just sit back [E]and watch,
[Em]thinkin' bout [E]em
[Em]Mom's probably stronger than Pops is

[Verse 2]
[Em]
The talk is, that the old man has [E]lost it
Last [Em]week he came back from work
I saw him on the porch
With a glass of milk in his shirt
He was flippin' out
Mom probably put it there
Judging from how angry
that she was
It probably [E]should be there
[Em]Now both folks know that
I'm standing there
But Mama protects me
[E]Throws me behind her back
Why [Em]did Papa do that?
What's that tellin' me?
Birds can't help but sing
[E]a melody[Em]
[E](I ain't [Em]stupid)
Happy ever after is nothing
but a fantasy
Police are part of our [E]family
Son [Em]and mother look out from the porch
See father's head duck under the door

[Verse 3]
I [C]believe in [Em]nothing i [C]believe in [Em]my self
I [C]believe in [Em]nothing [C]nothing [Em]at all

[Verse 4]
My papa got some big anger problems
[Em]
I'm getting older [E]and
I'm sick about 'em
It's [Em]getting harder just to live around it
I need to take a stand as a man
[E]I need to be about it

[Verse 5]
[Em]So ring around the posies round
The living room table
I can't remember what we
[E]were arguing about
I [Em]stood up to the scariest
man in the country
I held my head high [E]as I left [Em]the house
[C]Little boy stood in the face of a dragon
[Em]Left with the heart of a lion, amazing
[C]It's funny
I left [Em]the house so it could cool down
But the dragon stayed hot
Who's the fool now?
Papa and the devil, sitting in the basement
A- R- S- O- N- IN- G
[E]Young son, headed bac[Em]k
to the household
Running down the block,
[E]eight firetrucks deep
Fell to my knees and I
[Em]Screamed in the front yard
Fireman running around like no
One's in charge
Sort of like when it rains, it pours
See the [C]flames burst [Em]out of the door
[C]I

[Verse 6]
believe in [Em]nothing i [C]believe in [Em]myself
I [C]believe in [Em]nothing [C]nothing [Em]at all

[Verse 7]
[Em]I've learned [E]a lifetime a
[Em]lifetime as a boy
Evil's on the in[E]side [Em]waiting [E]for all

[Verse 8]
[C]Got an apartment i'm 20 years old
[Em]Finally thinking I have
Everything under control
[C]It's been years since
I spoke to the man
When, he [Em]gave me his old cutlass
To [E]get out of the sand
So just [Em]like a hyena, I take the meat
And then I run my ass away
You need to let me be
[E]But over tim[Em]e a part of me
Knew one needed to speak
That's right when the world de[E]cided
That it couldn't be
It's the biggest [Em]hurdle
thinking past tense

[Verse 9]
When a strong man takes his last breath
[Em]
I [C]believe in [Em]nothing i [C]believe in [Em]myself
I [C]believe in [Em]nothing [C]nothing
[Em]at all
