[Intro] E G#7 C#m E [Verse]
E
If you’re trying to get in his head
Then you’re just wasting your breath
                           G#7
'Cause he might as well be dead

           C#m                       
There just ain’t no getting through

                                E
If that’s what you’re trying to do
[Verse]
E
And to those who don’t know him yet
He don’t care if you ever do
                  G#7
He is faithful to himself

       C#m 
And it can hurt to hear the truth

                                 E
But he just ain’t concerned with you
[Chorus]
          C#m                           E
They were mean, said they were silly dreams

                               C#m  
So he had to leave, no time to grieve
Had to set out and find
                               E
Something better than what he left behind
Something he knew was worth
           C#m                 E
All of his pain and hurt
E G#7 C#m E [Verse]
E               
He gets down on his own self
More than anybody else can
                       G#7
And it’s easy to understand

           C#m 
But it can hurt to hear the truth

                                 E
But he just ain’t concerned with you
[Chorus]
       C#m                      E
'Cause spirits have their own minds

                                          C#m 
They can’t be confined to fit between the lines

                       E
Spirits have their own minds

                                        C#m 
They can’t be confined, they draw their own lies
[Bridge]
     A                 E
It’s alright tell 'em how it is

     C#                           E                    
Even though it don’t make you popular

  A                 E
Sometimes you gotta be a dick

          C#           E
You don’t have to roll over
E G#7 C#m E [Verse]
E
So to those who don’t know him yet

        E
He don’t care if you ever do

                     G#7
He is faithful to himself

           C#m 
And it can hurt to hear the truth

                                 E
