Verse 1:
 Bm
Yeah, most of my life's full of sad days
 A
    Started at a young age
        G
Yeah, bought a house but I've been livin' on stage

Tryna find the real me, I ain't found it yet
 Bm
Wake up every morning feelin' like I'm guilty
  A
Talk to God, "Can You hear me?"

Lately, I'm a mess
G
I don't want no one to help me

Yeah, I don't want no one to help me and

Pre-Chorus 1:
Bm                                                    A
If you think that I make decisions based off of what you think, then you're wrong
                       G
Can't nobody think for me, I got my own thoughts

Sometimes you don't know what you had until it's all gone, 'til it's all gone
Bm                                                      A
If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life

Yeah, I had to think smart
  G
     Threw away the deck and got my own cards

Long before I had the money to afford a car

Chorus 1:
 Bm
     I've been doin' me -yeah-
  A
     I've been doin' me
                       G
Yeah, I've been doin' me

I've been doin' me

Followin' my dreams

I've been doin' me
                      G
Yeah, I've been doin' me

I've been doin' me

Followin' my dreams

Yeah, I've been doin' me

Verse 2:
 Bm
Most of my life's full of regrets
  A
     Things I wanna take back, yeah
  G
Wrote you a letter, wish that I had never sent that

Didn't even make sense, I don't even know
Bm
All I know is I get lower on the weekends
 A
     They tell me I should make friends, I just sit at home
  G
Lately, I've been off the deep end, yeah

I've been off the deep end and

Pre-Chorus 2:
Bm                                                       A
If you think that I'm 'bout to change who I am just for you then you're so wrong
                     G
As I kid I built a house around my broke heart

Sometimes you don't know what you had until it falls apart, 'til it falls apart
Bm                                                      A
If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life

Yeah, I had to think smart
  G
     Threw away the deck and got my own cards

Long before I had the money to afford a car

Chorus 2:
   Bm
I -yeah- I've been doin' me -oh, yeah-
 A
    I've been doin' me
                      G
Yeah, I've been doin' me -I have been-

I've been doin' me

Followin' my dreams
                      Bm
Yeah, I've been doin' me -followin' my-
                      A
I've been doin' me

I've been doin' me -I've been followin' my-
                       G
Yeah, I've been doin' me

Followin' my dreams

Yeah, I'm just doin' me

Yeah, I'm just doin' me

Verse 3:
 Bm
Yeah, I'm reminiscin' back to both of us laughin'
         A
Playin' old records, thinkin' every one of 'em's classic
          G
Windows down, we on the street up in Michigan rappin'

We talked about it, but never really knew it could happen
       Bm
My confidence about as low as the gas is
                           A
We didn't have the money for it, so we'd turn the key backwards and sit in parking lots for
  G
hours 'til the battery crashes

I think that we related 'cause both of us were lookin' for answers
    Bm
A couple months ago I drove into Gladwin, got me all in my feelings
 A
It's somethin' 'bout bein' somewhere that's familiar
 G
Pull in the gas station, open up the tank then I fill it then laugh
                                                   Bm
Would I move back? Mm, not in a million, but I appreciate the memories we had
                      A
I know you've been callin', sorry I never call back
                    G
I know I've been distant, you know I never meant that

You can tell the family how I'm doing if they ask
               Bm
I'm just doin' me

You can just do F-G-C-Am and strum T-du and d on the pre chorus, this is wayyy easier and sounds pretty OK.

wow

WOW, I literally am surprised that this song. Became famous!

John Revan

actually the last lines on those pre-choruses are different…

1st pre-chorus:
“Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!”
2nd pre-chorus:
“Tough luck my friend but the answer’s still no!”
3rd pre-chorus:
“Tough luck my friend but no still means no!”

ale

the lyrics are wrong at one point. it’s supposed to be “we will be both standing at that alter.” not “we will be boys standing at that alter.”

Aaron w.

I liked this version of the song more than any others I could find online.
this was one of the songs that I thought I couldn’t play but I now know I can.
