Intro: C B7 Em (x2) 


verse 1:  

Em           C     B7               Em     
Forward yesterday, makes me want to stay 
Em                  C     B7               Em 
What they said was real, makes me want to steal 
Em               C          B7           Em 
Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse 
Em           C     B7                    Em 
All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme 


Pre-Chorus 1 

G                Am                     Em     
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal 
G                Am                    Em 
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal 
G                Am                     C                D 
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal 
 

    Em       F#/G   G      A          Em  F#/G   G       A 
I'm half the man I used to be, yes I feel as the dawn it fades (to grey) 
         Em       F#/G   G      A          Em  F#/G   G       A   
Well I'm half the man I used to be, yes I feel as the dawn it fades (to grey) 
         Em       F#/G   G      A          Em  F#/G   G       A 
Well I'm half the man I used to be, yes I feel as the dawn it fades (to grey) 
     Em       F#/G   G      A       Em 
Well I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be... 


verse 2:  

Em          C       B7                 Em   
Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire 
Em        C    B7            Em  
Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun 
Em                  C             B7               Em  
Think you're kinda neat, then she tells me I'm a creep 
Em                    C       B7                Em  
Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me

Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal 
G                Am                     C                D 
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal 



    Em       F#/G   G      A          Em  F#/G   G       A
