VERSE 

Gm 
Things that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em 
Gm 
Secrets below the service of truth I hid 'em 
Gm 
This mankind is past, but can he erase 
Gm                       F        
The tears of a million years is human race 
Eb 
Of animals, that taught to walk upright 
Eb 
Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night 
Eb 
Flowing the planet, trying to find missing links 
Eb                              F 
Like the men we used to be and always suppose to think 
Gm 
Mysteries, maybe not 
Gm 
It's getting hot, we better configure the plot, but 
Gm 
I hold a pen with the grip so tight 
Gm                                 F                               Eb 
That's squeeze the ink out'ta the page, and write a song for the people 
     Eb                               Eb 
Came up from the underground, now I write above on a hovercraft sound 
         Eb 
This microphone, like an an amphetamine 
            Eb 
Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams 
F                             Gm 
So nature can intervene, just for a scene 


 

Gm 
I tried it, I couldn't find it 
    Gm            F          Eb 
Now I just wanna get back to me 
     Eb        Eb 
Awe baby, hoo hoo 
Eb             F            Gm 
Back into the man I used to be

verse 2  

            Gm 
I walk the long path alone, my feet hurt 
Gm 
Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt 
Gm 
I went to church, I tried everything 
Gm                         F 
From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing 
    Eb 
For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers 
          Eb 
Had been across the universe and inside of flowers 
     Eb                                            Eb 
But what is it worth, I'm still just a man on the earth 
              F 
Rappers are acting like man tan 
Gm 
Can I be candid, I can't stand it 
Gm 
Rap bandit, got Kheaven acting frantic 
Gm 
I wanna swing my sword decapitate 
Gm                       F 
But what is a man if he acts like an ape 
      Eb 
So I sit back, planning my great escape 
     Eb 
Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate 
Eb                                        Eb 
The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me 
    F                          Gm 
So what is reality, I don't know  



Chorus* 


I tried it, I couldn't find it   
                                  
Now I just wanna get back to me  
                                  
Awe baby, hoo hoo                
                                 
Back into the man I used to be   


(Gm x4) (Eb x3)  Eb            F            
                Back into the man I use to be 

(Gm x4) (F) (Eb x3)  Eb            F

I tried it, I couldn't find it
