Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [Em]was born in that summer
when the sun did[C]n't shine
I was [G]given [Em]the name that
doesn't [Bm]feel like [Em]it's mine
[Bm]Lived my l[G]ife as t[Em]he good boy
I was [C]told I should be
Prayed every [Em]night to a religion
that was [Bm]chosen [Em]for me
[Bm]Sold[Em] my soul,

[Verse 2]
broke my bones,
[C]tell me, what did I get?
[G]Did my time, toed the line,
[Bm]ain't seen anything yet
[Em]Strike me down to the ground,
you [C]know I've seen it before
[G]Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt,
I [Bm]just don't care anymore
[Em]How

[Verse 3]
could you break my [C]heart?
Already played my part
[G]I kept my promise, man[Bm],
show me [Em]the promiseland
Don't occupy my [C]throne,
give me the crown I own
[G]Lived like you told me how[Bm],
look at me now
I've got [C]no money in my pocket
[Em]And the [B]whole world's [D#dim]bringing
[B]me [Em]down
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
And the [B]whole world's
bringing me [Em]down
[G][C][B]

[Verse 5]
[Em]One person's lie is just
an[C]other man's truth
We kept on [G]running from the devil,
but the [Bm]devil was you
Every [Em]time I see the light,
I'm falling [C]deeper in debt
If I've never [G]seen the good,
how can it [Bm]come to an end?
[Em]Sold my soul,

[Verse 6]
broke my bones,
[C]tell me, what did I get?
[G]Did my time, toed the line,
[Bm]ain't seen anything yet
[Em]Strike me down to the ground,
you [C]know I've seen it before
[G]Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt,
I [Bm]just don't care anymore
[Em]How

[Verse 7]
could you break my [C]heart?
Already played my part
[G]I kept my promise, man[Bm],
show me [Em]the promiseland
Don't occupy my throne,
[C]give me the crown I o[G]wn
Lived like you told me [Bm]how,
look at me now
I've got no [C]money in my pocket
And the [B]whole world's bringing
me down
[Em][G]

[Verse 8]
[C]
And the [B]whole world's
bringing me down
[Em][G]

[Verse 9]
[C]
And [B]the whole world's bringing me down

[Verse 10]
[Em]How could you break my heart[C]?
Already played my part
[G]I kept my promise, man[Bm],
show me [Em]the promiseland
Don't occupy my [C]throne,
give me the crown I own
[G]Lived like you told me [Em]how, [Bm]look at me now
