[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][C]
[Am][C][F]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Too many times you're [C]gonna
go out with a- walkin'
[Am]Too many times you come out late[C]
[Am]Too many times you set yourself [C]out of the scene,
it makes [F]you walk up straight
It makes you walk [Am]up straight

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Too many times you trade
the [C]bottle for the body
[Am]One drop of breath and one for s[C]kin
[Am]You say nobody knows the truth[C] about your body,
are you en[F]tirely thin?
Are you en[Am]tirely [G]thin?

[Verse 3]
But if I were [C]a good man,
would it really [G]happen?
Would you walk me [Am]home then
everyday from [F]work
[Dm]But maybe [F]I'm a [C]good man,
wouldn't let it [G]happen
[Em]I believe in lov[Am]e,
I'm married to my [F]work

[Verse 4]
Cause I can be [C]a father, I can be a [E]brother,
I can be a [Am]flower, rise up in the [A]dirt
We were born to [Dm]live here,
We were born to [G]die here
And you [Bb]know this when you work
Yeah, you watch me when you work

[Verse 5]
Well, you are [F]free from the
work or the silence
Well, you know [A]what to do
with your demands
It's not [Bb]sure[Gm]
You got a few ideas
[F]

[Verse 6]
And when you wake from
this shell of this body
Or will [Am]you sink [A]your ghostly man?

[Verse 7]
Well, it's not [Bb]holy
[Gm]You've got something bette[Dm]r up your sleeve
[C][E]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[C]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Too many times you'll keep
your [C]love dry for your family
[Am]And let it over in your [C]sleep
[Am]You'll overtry to hold some burd[C]en like a man,
something [F]you can keep
Something [Am]you can keep

[Verse 9]
[Am]
You smell the scent of something
[C]burning in the kitchen
[Am]He smells the future on the [C]lawn
[Am]These are the things we've come to recog[C]nize as truth,
we cut the [F]right into wrong
We cut [Am]the right into [G]wrong

[Verse 10]
But if I were a [C]good man,
would it really [G]happen?
Would you [Em]walk me [Am]home then
everyday from [F]work
But maybe [Dm]I'm a [C]good man,
wouldn't let it [G]happen
[Em]I believe in lov[Am]e,
I'm married to my [F]work

[Verse 11]
Cause I can be [C]a father, I can be a [E]brother,
I can be a [Am]flower, rise up in the [A]dirt
We were born to [Dm]live here,
We were born to [G]die here
And you [Bb]know this when you work
Yeah, you watch me when you work

[Verse 12]
It seems that [F]we be smooth like pebbles
But [A]now we get scared like
our parents
Or somewhere [Bb]fake
[Gm]It's just a waste of money
[F]

[Verse 13]
And when you wake up tomorrow, my son
Will you be [A]the father of someone terrible
It will [Bb]it shine, throughout your [Gm]life
[Bb]It[Gm][Bb][Gm]
won't [Bb]bury you,

[Verse 14]
cause we know
[F]Somewhere in the dar[Cm]kness, you will find lov[Bbm]e,
baby [F]you [Cm]will find love[Bbm][F]
You will feel [Dm]younger girl
[F][Dm][F][Dm]
[F]
And you will feel young
