[F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD] x 2
[F# minorF#m]Poor boy- [A augmentedA] hailed from Mississippi
[E MajorE]Had dreams [D MajorD] beyond just a family
[F# minorF#m]Left home when [A augmentedA] he was just seventeen
[E MajorE] Never even looked [D MajorD] back till he was twenty three
[F# minorF#m]By then he'd [A augmentedA] been through the ringer
[E MajorE]Made himself a [D MajorD] name as a singer
[F# minorF#m]Read about in [A augmentedA] all of the papers
[E MajorE]How the boy got [D MajorD] lost in the vapors
[BB]Ego is a muscle [D7D7][C#7C#7]just add fame and watch it swell
[F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD] x 2
[F# minorF#m]Lot of things have [A augmentedA]changed since the old days
[E MajorE]God bless the [D MajorD]fool who gets in your way
[F# minorF#m]Too much time [A augmentedA]living with your own disease
[E MajorE]Too many lines [D MajorD]blurring out the boundaries
[F# minorF#m]Lost friends [A augmentedA]fallen by the wayside
[E MajorE]Lost lovers [D MajorD]take it all in stride
[F# minorF#m]Eyes closed[.]
(Eyes Closed) still it should be plain to see
You're not the boy that you used to be
[BB]Ego is a muscle [D7D7][C#7C#7]just add fame and watch it swell
