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

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

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

G                     Bm
I kept my promise man, Show me the promiseland
Em                     C
Don't occupy my throne, Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how, Look at me now
            C
I've got no money in my pocket

And the whole world's bringing me down
