Intro:
Gbm                D
   Lately I've been hard to reach
E                      Gbm
   I've been too long on my own
Gbm                   D
   Everybody has their private world
               E    D
Where they can be alone
D              E
   Are you calling me?
        Db           Gbm
Are you trying to get through?
        D
Are you reaching out for me?
    E
I'm reaching out for you

Verse 1:
Gbm
I'm just so xxxxxxx depressed
  E
I just can't seem to get out this slump
   D
If I could just get over this hump
                                Dbm
But I need something to pull me out this dump
  Gbm
I took my bruises, took my lumps
E
Fell down and I got right back up
      D
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
                                Dbm
And in order for me to pick the mic back up
  Gbm
I don't know how or why or when
  E
I ended up this position I'm in
     D
I'm starting to feel dissin' again
                     Dbm
So I decided just to pick this pen
Gbm                             E
Up and try to make an attempt to vent

But I just can't admit
   D
Or come to grips with the fact

that I may be done with rap
         E
I need a new outlet
      Gbm
And I know some xxxx's so hard to swallow
    E
But I can't just sit back and wallow
   D
In my own sorrow but I know one fact
                  Dbm
I'll be one tough act to follow
Gbm
   One tough act to follow
E
I'll be one tough act to follow
D
Here today, gone tomorrow
                         E
But you'd have to walk a thousand miles

Chorus:
Gbm
In my shoes, just to see
E
What it's like, to be me
D
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
                 Dbm
Just to see what it'd be like
   Gbm
To feel your pain, you feel mine
E
Go inside each others' minds
D
Just to see what we'd find
                     Dbm
Look at xxxx through each others' eyes
Gbm             E              D         Dbm
   Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
Gbm                E                  D           E
   They can all get xxxxxx, just stay true to you
Gbm             E              D         Dbm
   Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
Gbm                E                  D           E
   They can all get xxxxxx, just stay true to you

Verse 2:
             Gbm
I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
E
Everything's so tense and gloom
  D
I almost feel like I gotta check

the temperature of the room
Dbm              Gbm
Just as soon as I walk in

it's like all eyes on me
       E
And so I try to avoid any eye contact
         D
Cause if I do that then it opens the door
                       E
For conversation, like I want that
Gbm
I'm not looking for extra attention
E
I just wanna be just like you
D
Blend in with the rest of the room
                              Dbm
Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
        Gbm
I don't need no xxxxxxx man servant
          E
Trying to follow me around and wipe my ass
D
Laugh at every single joke I crack
                           E
And half of 'em ain't even funny like
   Gbm
Ha!  Marshall you're so funny man
E
You should be a comedian, god damn!"
D
  Unfortunately I am
                       Dbm
I just hide behind the tears of a clown
Gbm
   So why don't you all sit down
E
Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
D
Hell we don't gotta trade our shoes
                                     E
And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles

Chorus:
Gbm
In my shoes, just to see
E
What it's like, to be me
D
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
                 Dbm
Just to see what it'd be like
   Gbm
To feel your pain, you feel mine
E
Go inside each others' minds
D
Just to see what we'd find
                     Dbm
Look at xxxx through each others' eyes
Gbm             E              D         Dbm
   Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
Gbm                E                  D           E
   They can all get xxxxxx, just stay true to you
Gbm             E              D         Dbm
   Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
Gbm                E                  D           E
   They can all get xxxxxx, just stay true to you

Verse 3:
Gbm
Nobody asked for life to deal us
E
With these xxxxxxxx hands we're dealt
D
We gotta take these cards ourselves
                      Dbm
And flip 'em, don't expect no help
Gbm
   Now I could've either
         E
just sat on my ass and xxxxxx and moaned
   D
Or take this situation

in which I'm placed in
               E
And get up and get my own
Gbm
I was never the type of kid
   E
To wait by the door and pack his bags
  D
I sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
                         Dbm
For a dad to show up who never did
Gbm
   I just wanted to fit in
      E
Every single place every school I went
  D
I dreamed of being that cool kid
                   E
Even if it meant acting stupid
    Gbm
And Edna always told me
            E
Keep making that face and

it'll get stuck like that
D
Meanwhile I'm just standing there
                        Dbm
Holding my tongue tryna talk like that
Gbm
'Til I stuck my tongue on that
        E
frozen stop sign pole

At 8 years old
  D
I learned my lesson then

'Cause I wasn't trying to
  E
impress my friends no more
      Gbm
But I already told you my whole life story
E
Not just based on my description
      D
Cause where you see it

from where you're sittin'
               Dbm
It's probably 110% different
Gbm                               E
   I guess we would have to walk a mile

in each others shoes at least
     D
What size you wear? I wear 10's
                     E
Let's see if you can fit your feet

   I've been too long on my own
Gbm                   E
   Everybody has their private world

Where they can be alone

Even if it sounds corny
