Verse 1:
Em C
I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine
G Bm
I was given a name that doesn't feel like it's mine
Em C
Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be
G Bm
Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me
Pre-Chorus:
Em C
Sold my soul, broke my bones, Tell me, what did I get?
G Bm
Did my time, toed the line, Ain't seen anything yet
Em C
Strike me down to the ground, You know I've seen it before
G Bm
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore
Chorus:
Em C
How could you break my heart? Already played my part
G Bm
I kept my promise man, Show me the promiseland
Em C
Don't occupy my throne, Give me the crown I own
G Bm
Lived like you told me how, Look at me now
C
I've got no money in my pocket
B
And the whole world's bringing me down
Interlude: Em G C
B
And the whole world's bringing me down
Interlude: Em G C B
Verse 2:
Em C
One person's lie is just another man's truth
G Bm
We kept on running from the devil, but the devil was you
Em C
Every time I see the light, I'm falling deeper in debt
G Bm
If I've never seen the good, how can I come to amend?
Pre-Chorus:
Em C
Sold my soul, broke my bones, Tell me, what did I get?
G Bm
Did my time, toed the line, Ain't seen anything yet
Em C
Strike me down to the ground, You know I've seen it before
G Bm
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore
Chorus:
Em C
How could you break my heart? Already played my part

I kept my promise man, Show me the promiseland
