Eminem – The Way I Am (Guitar)

      Am                         Bm
I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zag's and this bag of this weed

                     Am                      C                 Am
It gives me the shit needed to be the most meanest MC on this,    on this Earth

           E                                Am
And since birth, I've been cursed with this curse to just curse

                                  Bm
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works

                               Am                        C
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension

                  Am
Dispensing these sentences

                E                         Am
Getting this stress that's been eating me recently off of this chest

                  Bm
And I rest again peacefully

                      Am                  C
But at least have the decency in you to leave me alone

           Am
When you freaks see me out

          E                        Am
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter

                            Bm
To not come and speak to me

                                           Am
I don't know you and no, I don't owe you a motherfucking thing

     C                  Am
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think

     E                  Am
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick

                               Bm
If you tempt me, my tank is on empty

                         Am
No patience is in me and if you offend me

     C                   Am
I'm lifting you ten feet    in the air

         E                         Am
I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you

                      Bm
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit

                                Am
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe

     C               Am
I'm tired of all you

                     E                        Am
I don't mean to be mean, but that's all I can be, it's just me

      Am              Bm
And I am whatever you say I am

                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am

                  Am
Radio won't even play my jam

        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am

                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am

                              Am
I don't know, that's just the way I am

    Am                        Bm
Sometimes I just feel like my father

                                       Am
I hate to be bothered with all of this nonsense

                    C                    Am
It's constant and, "Oh, it's his lyrical content

                  E                          Am
The song "Guilty Conscience" has gotten such rotten responses"

                         Bm
And all of this controversy circles me

                              Am                  C           Am
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me

                    E
So I point one back at them

               Am
But not the index or pinkie, or the ring, or the thumb

         Bm
It's the one you put up when you don't give a fuck

         Am                          C
When you won't just put up with the bullshit they pull

           Am
Cause they full of shit too

        E                           Am
When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school

                             Bm
And they blame it on Marilyn    and the heroin

                           Am
Where were the parents at?

                        C
And look where it's at!

                Am
Middle America, now, it's a tragedy

 E                      Am                                           Bm  
Now it's so sad to see,    an upper-class city having this happening

                                        Am
Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way

                         C                       Am
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need

                 E                         Am
For the fire to burn and it's burning, and I have returned

      Am              Bm
And I am whatever you say I am

                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am

                  Am
Radio won't even play my jam

        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am

                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am

                              Am
I don't know, that's just the way I am

    Am                   Bm
I'm so sick and tired of being admired

                              Am
That I wish that I would just die or get fired

      C                           Am
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables

     E                   Am
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name Is"

                           Bm
And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation

                      Am
To cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations

    C                     Am       E                             Am
And I just do not got the patience   to deal with these cocky Caucasians

                                                Bm
Who think I'm some wigger who just tries to be black

                                           Am
Cause I talk with an accent and grab on my balls

                     C                       Am
So they always keep asking the same fucking questions

        E
What school did I go to?

      Am
What hood I grew up in?

                                   Bm
The why, the who, what, when, the where and the how

                                   Am
Till I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out

             C              Am
Cause they driving me crazy

                      E                     Am
I can't take it, I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit

                           Bm
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get

                               Am                         C            Am
But I can't take a shit in the bathroom without someone standing by it

                            E
No, I won't sign your autograph

                   Am
You can call me an asshole, I'm glad

        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am

                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am

                  Am
Radio won't even play my jam

        Am              Bm
Cause I am whatever you say I am

                              Am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

        C                     Am       E
In the paper, the news, every day I am

                              Am
I don't know, that's just the way I am
