Verse
A# Gm
What will they write about me
Dm F D# A#/D# F
What will the version be when all is said and done
A# Gm Dm
Will they remember all of the places seen
F D# A#/D# F
The poem's lost or am I just wandering on
D# A# F
I'm just wandering on
[Chorus 1]
D# Cm
There could be fewer days ahead than gone
Gm
And all I've spent
F D#
Are long since on my way
Cm Gm F
To learning nothing comes for free
Cm A#
But I'm not the man
D# F
I'm not the man
D# Cm Gm F
I used to be
[Verse 1]
A# Gm
So it all comes out in the wash
Dm
What would you see?
F D# A# F
Tattered pages and the ink stained pockets of your jeans
Gm D#maj7 F
So I've come to pay my respects at the wake
Dm D# A# F
I've buried it all and I'm dancing on my own grave
D# A# F
Yeah I'm dancing on my own grave
[Chorus 2]

There could be fewer days ahead than gone

And all I've spent

Are long since on my way

But I'm not the man

I'm not the man

I used to be

Don't leave me behind

Don't leave me behind

Like I left you behind
[Chorus 1]
D# Cm
There could be fewer days ahead than gone
Gm F
And all I've spent
D#
Are long since on my way
Cm Gm F
To learning nothing comes for free
D# Cm
I had a lot of time to waste
Gm F
I wrote the lines upon my face
D# Cm Gm F
Chasing down the shots they bought for me
D# A#/D
But I'm not the man
D# A#/D
I'm not the man
D# F
I'm not the man
D# Cm Gm F
But I used to be
[Outro 1]
D# Cm
I used to be my father's son
Gm F
I used to be number one
D# Cm
I used to be paper and pencil
Gm F
I used to be endless potential
D# Cm
I used to be heaven and earth
Gm F
I used to be my net worth
D# Cm
I used to be one public drunken moment
Gm F
I used to be high paid and low rent
D# Cm
I used to be a man on a mission
Gm
My best chart position
F
The man in the mirror
D#
Your brother, your killer
Cm
F new day, a new town
Gm
Your racehorse, your cash cow
F
Till I let you all down
[Outro 2]
D# A#/D
Now I want to be
D# F
I want to be
A#
Just want to be
