Chords

Single Released: 20 Nov 2023 Alternate or different capo fret positions are easily possible by using the transpose button below. The chords will automatically adapt to the new capo position. Plus 1 on the transpose button means capo fret position one down; minus one means capo one fret up. Using the Transpose button can affect the placement of the chords in the line. Small movements of the chords on the line are possible (depends on length chord names). Example: To play this without capo set the transpose button at +2. Half step down tuning set the transpose button at +3. [Intro] C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G F F C G F F Am G F F Am C G F Am G F F Am C G F Am G F F [Verse 1]
  C               G
I wish that I had courage,

  Am              F
I wish that I had fight,

    C                 G
You wish that you had people,

    Dm                F
Who loved you in your life,

  C                 G
I wish my brain was normal,

      Am          F
As an artist I am stuck,

  C                 G
Between the line of poverty,

    A             F
And being poor as fuck.
[Verse 2]
    C             G
But I will use my words as tools,

   Am              F
To help people who think like me,

    C             G
And I will use my brain and tongue,

   Am             F
To try to do this music thing,

    C           G
And I will make song,

             Am            F
And show you all that I am not useless,

C         G
I am more than I was,

Am        F
I am more than I was.
[Chorus]
C             G             F
I can be much better than I was,

        C          G           F
And the life of an artist is a truly brutal one,

      Am                G               F
But I have these stupid songs I have to sing,

        Am         C             G            F
And I'm making the choice to not fuck up everything.

       Am                  G                 F
And my father’s words they always stuck with me,

Am         G              F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing,

Am         G              F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing,

Am         G              F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing.
[Instrumental] C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F [Chorus]
C             G             F
I can be much better than I was,

        C          G           F
And the life of an artist is a truly special one,

      Am                G               F
But I have these stupid songs I have to sing,

        Am         C             G            F
And I'm making the choice to not fuck up everything.

       Am                  G                 F
And my father’s words they always stuck with me,

Am         G              F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing,

Am         G              F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing,

Am         G              F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing.
[Outro] Am G F
