[Intro] C C/B Am Am/G F F/E F G [Verse 1]
C       C/B     Am         Am/G
I'm bad news, a black and blues-er

F        F/E      F                G
 Who's a loser, a merry-go-round spiraling down

C       C/B         Am            Am/G
I'm all used up, I'm chaffed and chewed up

F              F/E            F                Gsus
  Who's just screwed up, the same old Charlie hitting the ground.
[Chorus]
G                        C           C/B  Am        Am/G
  Cause I'll never be the soul of a man, noble and wise

        F           F/E     F          G
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high

        C          C/B     Am        Am/G
Like the soul of a man, heroic and true

        F           F/E         F        G  G/F
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to

G/E                G/D
What else could I do?
[Verse 2]
C        C/B   Am     Am/G
  Stupid Hubris, no excuses

F         F/E       F                           G
  Blew my fuses, I guess I'm just a ruse in my fathers shoes

C       C/B  Am       Am/G      F           F/E
  Not amusing, no confusing this streak of losing

F                  Gsus
Totally brutal and useless too.
[Chorus]
G                 C           C/B  Am        Am/G
  How can I be the soul of a man, noble and wise

        F           F/E     F          G
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high

        C          C/B     Am        Am/G
Like the soul of a man, heroic and true

        F           F/E         F        G  G/F
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to

   G/E
What else could I...
[Break]
Am                Em
  Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top

F                                   G
I'm that broken heel unsteady and ready ready to drop
[Chorus]
                    Db         Db/C  Bbm        Bbm/Ab
  When will I be the soul of a man, noble and wise

        Gb          Gb/F    Gb         Ab
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high

Db           Db/C  Bbm       Bbm/Ab
  Soul of a man, heroic and true

        Gb          Gb/F        Gb       Ab  Ab/Gb
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to

Ab/F            Ab/Eb  Db  Db/C
What else could I do?

Bbm    Bbm/Ab  Gb        Gb/F
  I'll never be, no I'll never be

Gb              Ab
I have gone and let you down

Db  Db/C  Bbm         Bbm/Ab
  Oh! Soul! Soul of a man

Gb                Gb/F
Here comes that familiar sound

Gb                 Ab                    Fb  Gb  Db
Same old Charlie hitting the ground
