[Verse 1]
          E                      B
I've been sittin' here tryin' to find myself
        A                        E
I get behind myself, I need to rewind myself
                E                       B
Lookin' for the payback, listen for the playback
              A                          E
They say that every man bleeds just like me
                E                   B
And I feel like number one, yet I'm last in line
           A                            E
I watch my youngest son and it helps to pass the time
           E                        B
I take too many pills that helps to ease the pain
                A                     E
I made a couple dollar bills, still I feel the same
          E                         B
Everybody knows my name they say it way out loud
               A                               E
A lot of folks fuck with me, it's hard to hang out in crowds
                   E                        D
I guess that's the price you pay to be some big shot like I am
  A                                    E
Outstretched hands and one night stands, still I can't find love
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m             F#
  And when your walls come tumblin' down
C#m      F#         A
  I will always be around
 
 
[Solo]

[Chorus]
C#m             F#
  And when your walls come tumblin' down
C#m      F#         A
  I will always be around
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                           B
People don't know 'bout the things I say and do
           D         A               E
They don't understand about the shit I've been through
     E                  B
It's been so long since I've been home
A                                  E
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
E                         B
Maybe I've forgot all the things I miss
    A                              E
Oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this
             E                    B
I've said it too many times and I still stand firm
    A                       E
You get what you put in and people get what they deserve
 
 
[Bridge]
        E
Still I ain't seen mine
      D
No, I ain't seen mine
          A
I've been givin', just ain't been gettin'
          E
I've been walkin' that there line
      E                               B
So, I think I'll keep walkin' with my head held high
       A                  E
I keep movin' on and only God knows why
     E         B    A              E
Only God, Only God, Only God knows why
     E   D     A
Only God knows why, why, why
               E    D  A
Only God knows why
 
 
[Outro]
               E
Take me to the river, ey
                         D      A         E
Won't you take me to the river, hey, hey, yeah

Chords are pretty accurate, great for an acoustic guitar and camp fire! I'd move the chords slightly, but I have a slightly different natural rhythm. Rating 5.
