Eminem & Rihanna – The Pursuit Of Happyness chords

[Intro]
                    Em
I guess went out of my way
        D/F#         G
Just to love you the wrong way
                   Em
I guess I wore out my state
        D/F#               G
Cause I think I heard what you say then
     Em    D/F# G   D/F#  Em    D/F# G   N.C.
It's o_o_o_ver  now, It's o_o_o_ver  now
 
 
[Verse]
       Em                  
All my life, I was told, 
                    D/F#
I was never nothing special
        G                           
I don't need to be reminded of it 
            D/F#
every other second
       Em                             
"Specially when all my self-esteem's 
                D/F#
already shot to hell
            G                           
I'm falling helplessly I'm embarrassed, 
                D/F#  
I don't want no one else to see
       Em                              
"Cause I feel like I'm a piece of s*it 
               D/F#
every time she yells at me
G                   
Selfishly addicted, 
                   D/F#
definitely doesn't help that she
      Em
Makes me feel like I've died and gone to heaven
                        D/F#
But makes life a living hell for me
                             Em   
She does that thing with her lip, 
          D/F# 
now she's melting me
    G                   
I'm putty in her palms, 
                       D/F#  
I'm wrapped around her finger
  Em                    
A yo-yo on a string, 
                               D/F#
she lets me sit there and just dangle
          G
Until something better comes along
                              N.C.  C
And shell just drop me like a hot potato
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

I look like I'm in pain, but I'm okay
                Bm
Though 'Cause I know she loves me-my friends,
What do they know?
 
 
[Chorus]

        D      Em
I guess out of my way
        D/F#         G
Just to love you the wrong way
          D/F#     Em
I guess I wore out my state
        D/F#               G            N.C.
Cause I think I heard what you say then
     Em    D/F# G   D/F#  Em    D/F# G   N.C.
It's o_o_o_ver  now, It's o_o_o_ver  now
 
 
[Verse]

      Em                  
In my moments of weakness 
                   D/F#
I openly admit the sh*t
           G                       
I wouldn't normally I'm extremely 
                    D/F#
self-conscious and enormously
    Em                    
Insecure and she uses it 
                    D/F#
to torture when she torments me
   G                       
It only turns to ammunition 
                D/F#
for her in this war
              Em                   
When she Gets goin' she don't stop 
                         D/F#
when I'm up she's like a downer
       G                       
When I found her it was love 
                           D/F#
at first encounter but somehow
                   Em                 
She musta took the carton of eggs off 
                             D/F#
the counter cracked them and placed
                      G            
All the shells on the ground for me 
   Em                D/F#
to walk on when I'm around her
    G
But there's just something about her
                                       D/F#
That makes me not able to function without her
Em                     
 How can I getout of it 
                  D/F#
when I don't know how to?
      G                         
I'm a doubter, I'm a pessimist, 
                N.C.
make a believer out of me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C
And show me the way now or stay 

the f*ck out of my cloud of rain
 Bm
'Cause I'm going straight down the drain, 

I'm drowning
 
 
[Chorus]

        D           Em
I guess went out of my way
        D/F#         G
Just to love you the wrong way
          D/F#     Em
I guess I wore out my state
        D/F#               G            N.C.
Cause I think I heard what you say then
     Em    D/F# G   D/F#  Em    D/F# G
It's o_o_o_ver  now, It's o_o_o_ver  now
 
 
[Chorus]

        D/F#        Em
I guess went out of my way
        D/F#         G
Just to love you the wrong way
          D/F#     Em
I guess I wore out my state
        D/F#               G            N.C.
Cause I think I heard what you say then
     Em    D/F# G   D/F#  Em    D/F# G
It's o_o_o_ver  now, It's o_o_o_ver  now
 
 
[Outro]

        N.C.        Em
I guess went out of my way
        D/F#         G
Just to love you the wrong way
                   Em
I guess I wore out my state
        D/F#               G            N.C.
Cause I think I heard what you say then
     Em    D/F# G         Em    D/F# G
It's o_o_o_ver  now, It's o_o_o_ver  now
