What it's like

Verse 1:
       A  E        B   F#m     A     E             B  F#m
In my life all the strife is getting in the way.
        A  E       B  F#m   A      E        B   F#m
Frankly I did not plan on getting hurt today.
           A   E       B   F#m      A      E         B   F#m                  A      E
From your chair in the clouds, benevolent are your ways.   While the beggar bleeds,
              B   F#m            A       E          B   F#m
the children play.            Everyone wants to know why?


Pre-Chorus:
D             A          E     C#m           D
   Isn't it always the question,"How do you know my condition?"

Chorus:
A           F#m           E                      C#m                    C#m7 A
  You came down to me to know what it's like, to know what it's like to hurt.
A           F#m           E                            D
  You came down to me to know what it's like, to know just what it's like.
A    E    B  F#m     A    E   B   F#m
  To be me.           To be us.


Verse 2:
       A   E        B  F#m   A     E              B   F#m
In the wake of this mess, decades and centuries past.
          A   E         B  F#m     A           E           B   F#m
Who's to blame for this mess, and who's gonna take the rap.
               A   E       B   F#m    A                 E      B       F#m           D
We're quick to judge and discard.  A God who lets you choose, whom and what to love!


Pre-Chorus 2:
           A          E       C#m            D
Isn't it always the question,"Do you really know my position?"


Chorus 2:
A           F#m           E                      C#m                    C#m7 A
  You came down to me to know what it's like, to know what it's like to hurt.
A           F#m           E                            D
  You came down to me to know what it's like, to know just what it's like.
A    E    B  F#m     A    E   B   F#m         A   E         B   F#m     A  E   B  F#m
  To be me.           To be us.          To be one with the dust.       To be lost.


Musical interlude:
D   A   E   C#m   D   A   E   C#m7


Acappella: (oh x7) x2  You know what it's like, to thirst to bleed, oh you know what it's like.


Chorus 3:

  You came down to me to know what it's like, to know what it's like to hurt.
A           F#m           E                            D
  You came down to me to know what it's like, to know just what it's like to...
A           F#m                E                           C#m                    C#m7 A

  You came down...    to know just what it's like, to know just what it's like.
