Wake Up And Smell The Roses Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Uh, honestly I like it better
when my back's to the wall
That's how I know they
can't stab it
Stay faded cause I'm jaded
and just a little bit jagged
Honestly never had shit,
that's why I'm prone to the bragging
Cause most of the time when
I want something
the world just says I can't have [G]it
It's okay, I guess I'll figure it out
I didn't expect to live to 20 man,
I figured I'd drown
But ay, I'm here without a plan,
I guess I'll stick to this route
The quiet introvert
feels like a little [D]bitch in a crowd
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the [A]universe cares
I had a [D]dream when I was young,
in it I [A]fell down the stairs
And [D]I'm still climbing back [A]up,
just to say I did it
Middle [D]fingers to the skeptics,
should've [A]trusted my vis[D]ion
I [G]wonder, wait, am I destined to walk alone?
I take a hero's journey,
my destination unknown
I used to be organic,
my heart is more like a stone
When niggas call asking forgiveness,
I don't pick up the phone
Damn, [D]don't let the
[A]present [D]hold you bac[A]k
[D]I l[A]eft it dead,
[D]like the[A]re's no gra[D]vity
[G]No [D]gra[G]vity, no gra[F#m]vity,[G]
[F#m]no gravity
[D]Ah, [F#m]baby, [D]I know
The day is dawn[A]ing
[D]Wait [F#m]a minu[D]te, has this fallen?
Come [G]back to [D]me, come [G]back to me
[F#m]Don't come [D]back to me, to me,
to me, to [F#m]me, to me[D]
Mic check, [F#m]mic ch[D]eck
I wasn't born to [G]work,
I wasn't born to be a king
I didn't choose to be alive
until I don't exist for [D]free
Cathedrals and castles [G]of sand
and [A]testaments of [D]greed
It seems my strokes
of luck are [A]random
and I'm punished for good [D]deeds
What is the worth of this soul?
What is the price to pay to be here
when they cry when I go?
All my work I rip, be treasured,
love to treat it as gold
Lavender, how it's seeming to me
There's more to see beyond
the tree
than sleeves, see, so I mean
[G]A perfect portrait that I
[D]chase with a brush
It's hard to [G]start,
it's hard to tell when I'm done, [D]yeah
[G]My fingers [D]tremble, I can't pick up the brush
I used to [G]love, I used to say it is fun, yeah
[D]End up beyond, I see it as such
Try committing,
hard to breathe when I run, yeah
I count my days and do it one by one
To live and die by the blade,
pen, mic, [G]and a gun
[Bm]Just have fun
