Em*  D6  Cmaj7  Cadd9  Cmaj7


             Em*         D6
I've got the whole world on my back
             Cmaj7       Cadd9 Cmaj7
I've got the whole world on my back
             Em*         D6           Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
I've got the whole world on my back I do


                Em*
Yeah, cause I'm 5'9, 165
D6
Established 1995
Cmaj7
Living like I'm not getting out alive
         Cadd9                 Cmaj7
And I'ma take a second just to tell you why


      Em*
I had thoughts since 6th grade
              D6
This world is not made for the sake
              Cmaj7
of the people like me
                         Cadd9         Cmaj7
who can't see past their mistakes, and misdeeds


      Em*
And I bleed the same blood you bleed
   D6
So why are you trying to cut me?
            Cmaj7
Why's there always something you want from me?
    Cadd9              Cmaj7
Why can't you be happy for me?


        Em*
But I'm not that kid on the phone
          D6
screaming fuck this world I'm leaving
     Cmaj7
Like when I was sixteen and,
   Cadd9                Cmaj7
it still feels like I'm dreaming


       Em*
When I call your phone and realize
     D6
that I forgot to breathe in
Cmaj7
Forgot the grave that he's in
  Cadd9           Cmaj7
I hope you know I mean it


       Em*
When I say I'm only here today
            D6
'cause this music keeps me breathing
Cmaj7
It's my only healing

I'm not alone if you can feel it


        Em*
I'm not alone, if you know the bliss when I heard
     D6
That girl don't slit her wrists no more
          Cmaj7
From that time I reminisced at my show
Cadd9                       Cmaj7
Told her there's reasons to stay don't go


Em*
Don't push your family away I know
     D6
They don't understand all the pain you hold
Cmaj7
I'm just as sad know you're not alone
Cadd9                Cmaj7
Don't let your story go untold


  Em*
I know you're here in spirit,
       D6
Put on Deja Entendu
    Cmaj7
The only time I'm sad now is
Cadd9           Cmaj7
when I think of you


  Em*
I hope one day these kids get some of
D6
my lyrics tattooed but if I
Cmaj7
only helped one of them
     Cadd9            Cmaj8
then I did it for all you


  Em*
I don't know how she's doing,
      D6
No we haven't stayed in touch
      Cmaj7
But I helped her put the knife down
         Cadd9            Cmaj7
and that means so fucking much


  Em*
I hope one day these kids get some of
D6
my lyrics tattooed but if I
Cmaj7
only helped one of them
     Cadd9     Cmaj7
then I did it, I did it


    Em*
For you
    D6
For you
    Cmaj7  Cadd9  Cmaj7  Em*
For you
D6                Cmaj7  Cadd9  Cmaj7
 I did it all for you
