Intro 1
(D minor) (Esus4)
(D minor) (Esus4) (D minor)
(A minor)
(D minor) (A minor)
(D minor)
Verse 1
This is my self (A minor) portrait
Wrapped up warm in my (D minor) north- face
Gliding through storms and doorways
And (A minor) rhyme 'til my jaw breaks
Sure mate a vision of me
(D minor) With the television smashed
and the sizzling beef
And I'm (A minor) steady living,
trapped in the rhythm and beat
And my (D minor) head is spinning,
smacked out hitting the weed
And I (Esus4) guess it isn't (A minor) bad
if it helps me (D minor) ad just
But I'll tell you it's mad
when it dwells in my trust
And (A minor) af fect it,
and that's a lesson mate (D minor) use it
Seems that I have to be
depressed to make (A minor) music
Unless my face cubic,
I'll break out the (D minor) surface
Never played stupid,
my guessing games worthless
As I step on the wetter rain dirt
Its a lot more (Esus4) certain I
(A minor) never played (D minor) her kid
One step ahead of my definite loss
Trying to fight my battles but
the weapon is blocked
Am I ever going to be the main
(A minor) game or a weather turner
(D minor) Never going to be my own brain
or a (A minor) clever learner
I'll pedal further to make
heads (D minor) turn
I'm hooked like a maggot
or a baked dead worm
So is (A minor) this hatred,
happiness all maybe fake
Con (D minor) fused by my life but I play the game
(A minor) And stay the same insane
in my crazy brain
(D minor) And paint my name on walls to
claim the fame - -
It's plainly (A minor) lame (D minor)
(A minor) (D minor)
Verse 2
I can't (A minor) find the reflection,
the puddle's been clouded
(D minor) Blind from deception,
another kid (A minor) frowning
Why must I step with the rubble
and the (D minor) sand dunes
My mind seems fucked from
the trouble and the bad news
(A minor) My dad used to say to keep (D minor) sane; keep
up James and don't live the clean (A minor) way
But he's blatantly strange,
faking (D minor) his ways
From a crazy age I saw
him pacing away
(A minor) Chasing the pathways,
lost with the lights out
(D minor) Raving with class mates, cost of a life now
(A minor) The lessons learnt from
the freshly burned (D minor) victim
I once beat a kid to the ground
then I kicked him
(A minor) Switch the (D minor) sickness
to friends and favours
Strong as a (A minor) shield as I bend your sabres (D minor)
Free from the jail,
the dark and dark fader
Tarnish my past, live fast and laugh later
This is dark,
my an (A minor) swers scarce paper
(D minor) Gassed in the last chamber,
enhance my hearts (A minor) neighbour
But thats (D minor) my soul or my brain,
or the golden maze of my swollen veins
Or my (A minor) body parts drenched in the rain
as the lorries pass (D minor)
Motorways stain fake like a (A minor) bobbies mask
Got to pass this rap in a sore state
(D minor) I'd love to be free but I'm trapped in
Outro 1
my portrait
(A minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (D minor)
