THE MAN I'M TRYING TO BE

verse: Dm C# Bb
pre-chorus: Gm Bb
chorus: Bb D#maj7

this temptation so good, prescient mob
all these traveling kids, rich without jobs
you can't handle me, you can't handle the fall
take 5 minutes & don't stop bitchin' at all

PRE.
show me you can walk, & i'm not
the type to talk, passing out
like the token blonde.  immature for so damn...

CH.
long time coming / & stop that humming
but don't stop running to me
i'm still firing / & you're retiring
the man i'm trying to be

goddamn silence, yeah i'm still biting my tongue
dumb as violence a mother killing her young
you can't handle me don't be so surprised
mute for years then you talk, & no one replies.

PRE.
calling all the shots, i'm not sure
i can connect your dots, all that weight
you've gotta shoulder a lot.  under-dressed & over...

CH.
rotten luck / you're a sitting duck
it's the sound of the buck stopping
you're rewiring / & i'm two-timing
the man i'm trying to be.

you can't handle me, you can't handle me no
falling hard like i'm causing vertigo.

[repeat first PRE. & CH.]
