Eminem – Walk On Water (Guitar)

C  Bb      Am   Dm                G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus

C  Bb      Am   Dm                    G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes

Am
Why are expectations so high, is it the bar I set?

         F
My arms, I stretch, but I can’t reach

          C
A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as soon as I grab

Am
Squeeze, I lose my grip like the flying trapeze, into the dark, I plummet

        F
Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark’s high

            C
Butterflies rip apart my stomach knowing that no matter what

Dm
Bars I come with, you're gonna harp, gripe, and that's a hard Vicodin to swallow

           F
So I scrap these, as pressure increases

        G
Like khakis, I feel the ice cracking, because

C  Bb      Am   Dm                G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus

C  Bb      Am   Dm                    G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes

         Am
It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set

F
  Will this step just be another misstep

   C
To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect

Am
   I've garnered, the rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless

F
And it always feels like I'm hitting the mark

          C
’Til I go sit in the car, listen, and pick it apart

       Dm
Like, "this shit is garbage", God’s given me all this

     F
Kids look to me like as a god, this is retarded

        G
If only they knew, it's a facade and it’s exhaustive

Dm
   And I try to not listen to nonsense

                 F
Mission accomplished, I'm not God-sent

       G
Nas, Rakim, Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith, and I'm not Prince, so

C  Bb      Am   Dm                G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus

C  Bb      Am   Dm                    G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes

                 F     G          Am
’Cause I'm only human, just like you

C             F            G        Am
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew

        C                   F              G             Am
I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do

           C     F               G
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh

         Am
It's true, I'm a Rubik's, a beautiful mess, at times juvenile, yes

                  F
I goof and I jest, a flawed human, I guess

C
But I'm doing my best to not ruin your ex-

Am
pectations and meet 'em, but first, the "Speedom" verse

                           F
Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?

                           C
There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating out my palm

      Dm
Every album, song I was spazzin' the fuck out on

             F
But the only one who's looking down on me that matters

         G
Now's Deshaun, am I lucky to be around this long?

Dm
   Begs the question, though especially after the methadone

              F
As yesterday fades and the Dresden home is burnt to the ground

        G
And all that's left of my house is lawn, the crowds are gone

Am
   And it's time to wash out the blonde, sales decline, the curtains drawn

F
   They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head from out behind

C
   And everyone who has doubt, remind

Am
   Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times

F                                      C
   Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares or gives a fuck about your rhymes

Dm
   And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine

       F
'Cause how do I, ever let this mic go without a fight

G
   When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?

Dm
   But when I do fall from these heights, though, I'll be fine

        F
I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine

           G
But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around 'cause

C  Bb      Am   Dm                G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus

C  Bb      Am   Dm                    G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes

                 F     G          Am
’Cause I'm only human, just like you

C             F            G        Am
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew

        C                   F              G             Am
I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do

           C     F               G
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh

   C  Bb        Am            C
If I walked on water, I would drown
