(A minor) (D minor) (E minor)
(A minor) (D minor) (E minor)
(A minor) (D minor) (E minor)
(A minor) (D minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
'Round (D minor) the age of 35, I (E minor) began to lose my drive
I (A minor) was wasted,
chasin' time as if I was losin' my mind
If (D minor) you're listenin',
there's a way to make (E minor) it to that other side
When you're (A minor) driftin' and you need somethin'
upliftin' in your lives
Verse 2
Take (D minor) my eyes,
all this blue and black (E minor) and ebony inside
They (A minor) done cried 'cause they seen
too much to ever be surprised
Then (D minor) they dried,
used to be so full (E minor) of light and damn near died
Search (A minor) in' for them whens and whys,
tyin' up loose ends (E minor) an d odds
Verse 3
Sins (D minor) of mine, crimson tides,
close (E minor) family and friends of ours
You (A minor) decide, said I probably should
(E minor) forget my foolish pride
And (D minor) my sneakers made of gasoline
(E minor) while tippin' through this fire
Listen (A minor) in' to this choir,
asked a simple question, "Who is I?"
Verse 4
I (D minor) perfected imperfection,
(E minor) I've dealt with debt collection
All (A minor) my demons,
I respect 'em, I'm a breathin' inter (F major) section
On (D minor) the crux of my redemption,
not (E minor) to mention reinspired
(A minor) Lookin' out for me and mine,
since (E minor) I told my alter ego goodbye
Verse 5
(F major) Bye- bye (D minor)
Bye- bye (F major) (bye- bye)
Bye- (D minor) bye (bye- (F major) bye)
Bye- bye (bye- bye) (D minor)
Bye- bye (bye- bye) (F major)
(D minor) Yo, (F major) when
Verse 6
(D minor) I was runnin' on empty,
(E minor) that emptiness would tempt me
And (A minor) I felt like everything,
even my shadow worked against me
(D minor) I sit there in the mirror,
star (E minor) in' at myself intensely
Thinking, (A minor) "I should act my age, shit,
I'm approachin' half a century"
Verse 7
Ac (D minor) cidentally,
I be mentally taken (E minor) to my point of entry
(A minor) An d shown the bigger picture
like I'd watched a documentary
I (D minor) decided if I'm ridin',
I'm (E minor) gon' do it positively
Un (A minor) deniably,
sobriety's influenced my (E minor) de livery
Verse 8
In (D minor) a world of flowers,
where heaven's (E minor) beauty and hell's power
(A minor) Money that smells sour,
(E minor) bats in a bell tower
(D minor) That's who you lose interest in
(E minor) after the first hour
(A minor) Teachable memories that I found
resound louder
Verse 9
Than (D minor) a bomb, losin' track of
a (E minor) reason to correspond
When (A minor) your conscience kick you in
the ass like a chorus line
On (D minor) the crux of my redemption,
not (E minor) to mention reinspired
(A minor) Lookin' out for me and mine since
(E minor) I told my alter ego goodbye
Verse 10
(F major) Bye- bye (D minor) (F major) (D minor)
(F major)
Bye- bye (bye- (D minor) (F major) (D minor)
bye)
Bye- bye (bye- bye)
Bye- bye (bye- bye)
Bye- bye (bye- bye)
