Chords with lyrics

Intro:

E MajorE  G#7G#7  C# minorC#m  E MajorE


Verse:

E MajorE
If you’re trying to get in his head
Then you’re just wasting your breath
              G#7G#7
'Cause he might as well be dead
      C# minorC#m
There just ain’t no getting through
                E MajorE
If that’s what you’re trying to do

Verse:

E MajorE
And to those who don’t know him yet
He don’t care if you ever do
         G#7G#7
He is faithful to himself
    C# minorC#m
And it can hurt to hear the truth
                 E MajorE
But he just ain’t concerned with you


Chorus:

     C# minorC#m              E MajorE
They were mean, said they were silly dreams
                C# minorC#m
So he had to leave, no time to grieve
Had to set out and find
                E MajorE
Something better than what he left behind
Something he knew was worth
      C# minorC#m         E MajorE
All of his pain and hurt

E MajorE  G#7G#7  C# minorC#m  E MajorE


Verse:

E MajorE
He gets down on his own self
More than anybody else can
            G#7G#7
And it’s easy to understand
      C# minorC#m
But it can hurt to hear the truth
                 E MajorE
But he just ain’t concerned with you

Chorus:

    C# minorC#m           E MajorE
'Cause spirits have their own minds
                     C# minorC#m
They can’t be confined to fit between the lines
            E MajorE
Spirits have their own minds
                    C# minorC#m
They can’t be confined, they draw their own lies


Bridge:

   A augmentedA         E MajorE
It’s alright tell 'em how it is
   C#C#              E MajorE
Even though it don’t make you popular
 A augmentedA         E MajorE
Sometimes you gotta be a dick
     C#C#      E MajorE
You don’t have to roll over

E MajorE  G#7G#7  C# minorC#m E MajorE
