Intro: Em G Bm Em G D A Em G Bm Em G DVerse 1:
A Em It's hard to stay calm G Living like the bullet in the song Bm Same passion that was written in the psalms Em G Feel misunderstood, cuz my lies won't hold D A Can't Let another author try to write my wrongs Em G Forgive me the fights gone that's in my soul Bm This road that I been down has ran its toll Em G The sun is beaming down but the fact it's cold D A Kids only see a stranger when their dad comes home Em G I'm developing scars, good and evil I can't tell them apart Bm All this envy and this jealousy ain't helping my heart Em G No need to get my shit together I'll just tear it apart D A I'll never see the light of day when I'm left here in the dark Bm Good thing my momma knowsD A G I know that I've taken it too far to ever make amends Bm D Em The lord can't forgive my sins, when I just turn around and do it again F# I'm a selfish man Bm D A G And I.... can see it deep down inside, the man I've become Bm D Em F# Blood all on my hands, and my prints on this loaded gun Em I'm a selfish manVerse 2:
G Chain smoking drinking booze Bm Em Lord knows I'm a selfish man G D Walking circles in my room A Em While the devil trying to hold my hand G Another night but a different bar Bm Em Another woman and a different scar G D Another right but a different wrong A A different story but the same ol song Em G I burn bridges before I pastime Bm Sorry doesn't cut it when you swore it was the last time Em G She ran quicker than the liquor that I ran dry D A And she wanted me to change but my hands tied Em G Talking to myself saying everythings fine Bm When no one let her tell me I ain't living right Em G Plan to get sober but it didn't fan out D A Only reason that I am because I fucking ran out Em G You know I'm damaged goods she did known it from the start Bm And all these broken promises caused a broken heart Em G This broken home's got me drinking lonely in the dark D A And all these bad choices are pulling us apart Bm D But as long as you know that...A G I........ know that I've taken it too far to ever make amends Bm D Em The lord can't forgive my sins, when I just turn around and do it again F# I'm a selfish man Bm D A G Bm And I......... can see it deep down inside, the man I've become D Em F# Blood all on my hands, and my prints on this loaded gun F#m I'm a selfish man
