[Intro] G A D G A D F#m [Verse] G It’s nice to hear your voice again A D I pushed you so far down and F#m I let you sink through the drain G There’s a claw on my shoulder And she’s saying the obvious A D “You know eventually you’re gonna have to be a provider, too” G She’s coming closer, I can feel her breathe A D I keep forgetting that I’ll have a family G If I listen in, with hands cupped and on my knees A D I can hear the single obnoxious sigh of relief [Chorus] G F#C# I’m born to be somebody then D Bm somebody comes from me G D I’ll tell you about the Rabbit Moon and Bm when to keep walking G A I’ll spare you pain, I can feel any shame D Em7 Em come through that door Am I can’t F**k it up if Em D it’s not there at all [Instrumental] G D G D [Chorus] G A I’m born to be somebody then D Bm somebody comes from me G A D I’ll show you where I did swim team and Bm drive to Dunwoody G I’ll spare you pain, A D I can feel my shame creep Bm through that floor A I can’t F**k it up if D it’s not there at all Em I can’t F**k it up E A D if it’s not there at all
