Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
B D#m C#m F#
B
Well it’s been good and it’s been fun
D#m
It’s been real but now I’m done
C#m F#
I can’t spend another minute in this prison I’ve become
B D#m C#m
It’s all I can do to stay sane
B D#m C#m
It’s never too late to start again
B D#m C#m
I wanna be the man I see inside my own head
B D#m C#m F#
Not the one they want me to be instead
[Interlude]
B D#m C#m F#
[Verse 1]
B D#m
Well I stumbled around till I couldn’t be found
C#m F#
I had to get up and out of this old home town
B D#m
Now I’m staring down from the top of a cloud
C#m F#
from the window of a wing that is headed southbound
B D#m
I got the summer sun beating on my neck
C#m F#
A hot cup of coffee and a good cigarette
B D#m
The rest that I need that I can’t have yet
C#m F#
I’m only crying all the time I gotta pay the rent
[Chorus]
B D#m C#m
It’s all I can do to stay sane
B D#m C#m
It’s never too late to start again
B D#m C#m
I wanna be the man I see inside my own head
B D#m C#m F#
Not the one they want me to be instead
[Verse 2]
B D#m
See my cup runneth over but it used to be filled
C#m F#
but I still feel like a million bill
B D#m
you can throw me to the wayside I’ll run to you still
C#m F#
it’s a cold world we live in but I keep it real
B D#m
See a man like me couldn’t ask for more
C#m F#
I’ve always been a ugly and I’ve always been poor
B D#m
Now I live in a van with a band on tour
C#m F#
Seizing opportunities and never taking score
[Chorus]
B D#m C#m
Because it’s all I can do to stay sane
B D#m C#m
It’s never too late to start again
B D#m C#m
I wanna be the man I see inside my own head
B D#m C#m F#
Not the one they want me to be instead
[Verse 3]
B D#m
Now you can have the city I’ve got the whole state
C#m F#
state of mind it took a long time to create
B D#m
to create a better way of life and take it to the bank
C#m F#
banking on the fact that if I give They’ll give back
B D#m
back to people in the place I come from
C#m F#
From my two hands I can count the ones I love
B D#m
love is knowing it’s not as good as what it was
C#m F#
Was it really good or was it good just because
[Chorus]
B D#m C#m
It’s all I can do to stay sane
B D#m C#m
It’s never too late to start again
B D#m C#m
I wanna be the man I see inside my own head
B D#m C#m F#
Not the one they want me to be instead
[Outro]
B D#m
I guess the moral of the story goes
C#m F#
you’ll never be as good as you want to be so
B D#m
do your best the best that
C#m F#
Love what you’ve become no matter where you’re at
B D#m
that’s all we can do to be sane
C#m F#
No it’s never too late to start again
B D#m
I want to be the man I see inside my own head
C#m F#
not the one they want me to be instead
