Verse 2
So it's a (F major) secret that's been pent
up inside for years
Exclus (E major) ive type,
only for your eyes and ears
You held (A minor) it in for so long
you bursted into tears
The letters (D minor) spilled slowly across
Verse 3
the page like a world premiere
(F major) Well, I ain't, the bull (E major) shit
begin (F major) s here
(E major) The obvious cause,
the effects is unclear
(A minor) The punishment for crimes of the
(E major) heart could be severe
Though to (A minor) keep it on the low
is a heavy (D minor) cross to bear
Verse 4
You (F major) deep now,
submerged with no signs of air
Still (E major) your sunken heart thumpin'
like the kick in a snare
While on the (A minor) surface it's all
turnin' to a circus
That's why (D minor) you're nervous
and you got a right to be
Verse 5
'Cause if (F major) somebody woulda
done that shit to me
I mean my (E major) best man hittin' my (A minor) wife- to- be
(E major) My senti (A minor) ments exactly would be history,
ya (E major) know what I'm (A minor) say in'
My peoples in the (D minor) place,
let's hit it off, one, (F major) two
Verse 6
Here's what you want right, (E major)

of what (D minor) you're lookin' for
Verse 7
Yo, it's (F major) like nothin' changed,
(E major) it's all the same (F major) thang
The (E major) same characters in a book
with different names
It's (A minor) a lot more to lose
than you got to gain
You (D minor) a lot more confused
than hip to the game
Verse 8
The (F major) peep, the script of the game,
the (A minor) price is (F major) pain
Men (E major) and women get into things,
(A minor) now who's to blame?
(E major) When every (A minor) body whisperin'
'bout (E major) whatever took place
(A minor) And how the fact twist a knot
(D minor) with a straight face
Verse 9
And (F major) lies, hard to swallow from
the bitter taste
Well, that's a (E major) point in the past
that can't be erased
So motiv (A minor) ate,
though it's hard to let it ride
Or set (D minor) aside true feelings,
Verse 10
underhand dealings
(F major) Our lost trust,
I wonder (D minor) if we lost (F major) us
(E major) It's bigger than me and you,
(A minor) it's monstrous
(E major) So I'ma (A minor) just calm down
and try to re (E major) lax
Before (A minor) I clap (D minor) (F major) Here's (A minor) (E major)
(F major) what (E major) you want right,
here's (A minor) what you need right
We got to give you more of (D minor) what (F major) (E major)
(A minor) you're (E major)
(A minor) lookin' (D minor) for
Verse 11
If you (F major) could only flash back
and undo our actions
(E major) Change what happens,
dis (A minor) sect the fractions
A time to rewind and be recorded absenta
For (D minor) real cause these memories
is photographic
Verse 12
Por (F major) nographic,
pushing me (E major) close to mad (F major) ness
Head (E major) heavy like I'm trippin'
on (A minor) acid tablets
Yesterday as I recall was all
fabulous I thought so
But now it feel like shot
(D minor) s hittin' my torso
Verse 13
(F major) Spent a lotta time and trust
(A minor) in the wrong (F major) place
(E major) Fought a lotta fights rollin'
with the wrong ace
Love, (A minor) stronger than pride,
we could end disgrace
I need (D minor) room,
Verse 14
the think and space to ventilate
(F major) Was solid as a rock,
shall (D minor) not disinteg (F major) rate
Thought (E major) s racing like the lunatic
(A minor) s on the inter (E major) state
For (A minor) real ya, it's ill ya, (E major)
my peoples (A minor) in the place
(D minor) Here's what
