But you never saw my sacrifice
G#m        A                B          C#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive

Verse 1: Polo G
                     C#m
Uh, you weren't with me on the cold block nights
Now you front row for the spotlight
Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright
                    G#m  B
Jets overseas for a fire flight
C#m
Young nigga on bullshit
and I ball on 'em
Bill Cartwright
Knew I could shine through the darkness
I guess I always been a star type
     C#m
That lion in me made my heart fight
Coulda been a victim of a opp pipe
Took a million wishes just to get to this
                                 G#m  B
Cause we ain't the ones that the cops like
             C#m
Been so many times God tested me

They commentin' all on the blogs
Tryna tell me how to live my life

A
  And I waited so patiently
             B
If you could take off

No days off, grind faithfully
       E
I keep thankin' God for savin' me
      A
Front line, showcasin' our bravery
            B
I know that top spot
it was made for me
       C#m
It all paid off, so we felt
the struggle so painfully

I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)

   Yeah, you know the code we gotta live by
Never mind all the ice cubes on
                        G#m B

Live by the gun, get bodied

                   A
White Zomb' and a stogie
                  B

                      C#m
Furthest thing from a rodent

Bridge: Skylar Grey
               A   B
I make it look easy
       C#m         E
Like I made it overnight
  G#m          A   B
I make it look easy
        C#m
But you don't see the dark side
    G#m        A
And all of the monsters
B             C#m
I had to fight
    E          G#m A
And all of the nightmares
B                     C#m
Made me stronger than life


Verse 6: Eminem
A                B
  Y'all say I've changed
Really though? How so?
C#m
   Got all this bread
         E
I'm still sourdough
A                      B
  I don't know, square peg, round hole
                       C#m
Like a block of cheese in a paper towel roll
Rocky Balboa, never been no towel thrower
A
  Even when I got kicked to the curb
B
Life knocked my dick in the dirt
  C#m
I got back up, flipped it the bird
       E
'Til I earned the attention I yearned
Not to mention
I learned
A
How to turn resentment and
             B
hurt to an unquenchable thirst

In the simplest terms
     C#m
it's revenge of the nerd

In every sense of the word


Verse 7: Eminem
                       A
But all you see is the fame and the millions
                   B
You don't see the strength, the resilience
              C#m
How I rack my brain, but it feels as if
              E
I'm tryin' to explain it to children
G#m              A
So a lot of this pain isn't healin'
                     B
No escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
                 C#m
Almost like recreatin' the feelin'
Of 9/11 when the second plane hit the buildin'
G#m        A
So let 'em paint me the villain
                  B
Some of this just may be a symptom
          C#m
Of havin' way too much income
                             E
But when you struggled every day just to
                         A
get some Now all of this hate is a syndrome
                  B
When they can't relate and that stems from
                      C#m
Money lookin' like it grows on trees
Yeah, they're green, but those aren't leaves


Verse 8: Eminem
   A                             B
Sufficed to say, with every sacrifice I made
                       C#m
It's like I gave up my life to fame
                      E
All the nights that I lied awake
                      A
Nights I stayed up to write and prayed
                          B
Had to claw, scratch, and fight my way
                        C#m
Just follow me and I'll light the way
Look to the hook if your sky look grey
             A
And rappers, how can we be
              B
On the same level now when I
gotta look down and see these
C#m
Clowns that are on the ground?
             E
Bitch
I got clouds beneath me
                 A
Ever since I put out the EP
                 B
to the height of 2003-me
You ain't see the struggle
           C#m
to make it out The D
Because I made it
    E
somehow look easy


Chorus 3/Outro: Skylar Grey
                A              B
Now you see me standin' in the lights
              C#m         E
But you never saw my sacrifice
G#m        A                B          C#m
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
G#m            A              B
Had to lose it all to win the fight
         C#m          E      G#m   A
I had to fall so many times (Oh-oh-oh)
            B                C#m
Now I'm the last one standin'
      A              B                C#m
Oh-oh-oh Now I'm the last one standin'
