Faithful  (E major) all the way

Chorus 2

It's unfortu-

(nate, but it's) Too late

for the other side (yeah)

Caught in a chase,

twenty- five to life (Can't take no more)

Too late for the other side

Caught in a chase, twenty- five to life

Verse 2
G#m 
I feel like when  (G sharp minor) I     bend over
F#add9 
backwards  (F sharpadd9) for       you
All you do is laugh
E 
'cause that ain't  (E major) good enough
G#m 
You expect  (G sharp minor) me    to fold myself
B 
in half 'til I  (B major) snap
F# 
Don't think I'm  (F sharp major) loyal, all I do is rap
E 
How can I  (E major) moonlight on the side?
G#m 
I  (G sharp minor) have  no life outside of that
F#add9 
Don't I give you enough of my  (F sharpadd9) time?
You don't think so, do you?
E 
G#m 
Jealous  (E major) when I spend time with the  (G sharp minor) girls,
why I'm married to you still?
B 
F# 
Man,  (B major) I  don't know, but to (F sharp major) night
I'm serving you with papers
E 
I'm di (E major) vorcing you, go marry
G#m 
 (G sharp minor) someone else and make 'em famous
And take away their freedom
F#add9 
 (F sharpadd9) like      you did to me
E 
Treat 'em like you  (E major) don't need 'em
G#m 
and they ain't  (G sharp minor) worthy of you
B 
Feed 'em the same  (B major) shit
that you made me eat
F# 
 (F sharp major) I'm moving on, forget you
E 
Oh,  (E major) now I'm special?
G#m 
I ain't  (G sharp minor) feel  special when I was with you
F#add9 
All I ever felt was this  (F sharpadd9) helplessness
E 
Imprisoned by a  (E major) selfish bitch
G#m 
chew me  (G sharp minor) up    and spit me out, I fell for this
B 
so  (B major) many times, it's ridiculous
F# 
E 
 (F sharp major) And still I stick with this, I'm sick of  (E major) this
G#m 
But in my sickness  (G sharp minor) and   addiction
you're addictive as they get
F#add9 
Evil as they  (F sharpadd9) come
vindictive as they make 'em
E 
 (E major) My friends keep askin' me
G#m 
 (G sharp minor) why   I can't just walk away from
B 
I'm ad (B major) dicted to the pain
F# 
 (F sharp major) the stress, the drama, I'm drawn to
E 
G#m 
Shit, I  (E major) guess I'm a mess,  (G sharp minor) cursed and blessed
But this time I ain't changin' my mind
F#add9 
 (F sharpadd9) I'm       climbin' out this abyss
E 
G#m 
You're  (E major) screamin' as I walk that  (G sharp minor) I'll  be missed
B 
But when you spoke of peo (B major) ple
F# 
who meant the most to  (F sharp major) you
You left me off your list
E 
G#m 
Fuck you,  (E major) hip hop, I'm leavin'  (G sharp minor) you
My life sentence is served, bitch

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Add9 chords keep the major or minor triad and add a 9th on top, giving a brighter sound. A short course covers the shapes and where they fit. Learn add9 chords
