[Ab] [Dbm] [N] [Cm] Yeah
[Eb]
[Bb] [Cm] The Nice Guy Yeah
[Eb]
[Bb] [Cm] The Nice Guy Yeah
[Eb]
[Bb] [C] The Nice [Eb] Guy
I shot [Bb] for the sky
I'm stuck [Cm] on the ground
Why do [Ab] I try?
I know I'm gonna [Eb] fall down
I thought [Bb] I could fly
Why did [Cm] I drown?
Never [Ab] know why
It's coming down, down
I told the world [Eb] one day I would pay it back
Say it, I'm taking it, let it record it
So that one day I [Bb] could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when [Ebm] I'm saying that
I'm starting to creep in every day, it's just [Ab] so plain black
Oh, I just need a red ax
Cause no [Eb] one sees my vision when I'm playing for them
They just stay whacked
But they don't know [Bb] what dope is
They don't know if I was awake or asleep [Fm] when I wrote this
All I know is you came to me when I watched that [C] melodrama
You creep me up, bringing the light to me
I owe my [Eb] life to you, you'll flow the life of me
I don't see why you don't [Bb] see
Now God damn, you put a disc on to me
You lost your son, the [Ab] demon's fighting you
It's cold, let me turn on the lights
[Bb] You're frightening me, [C] enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you [Cm] mean to me
Not [Eb] the slightest clue
Cause me and you are like a crew
I look like [Bb] a sidekick, you don't either wanna fight
When I get off this fucking [Ab] microphone, you won't hug me
Well, I'm out of [Bb] oxygen, there's no end [Eb] of that
If you come to me, you should know
I shot for [Bb] the sky
I'm stuck [Cm] on the ground
Why do [Ab] I try?
I know I'm gonna [Eb] fall down
I thought [Bb] I could fly
Why did [Cm] I drown?
[Ab] Nobody's coming down
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
[Eb] And stuck them under the tree
And [Bb] said some of them were from me
Cause daddy couldn't buy them
I'll [Ab] never forget that Christmas
I sat up the whole night crying
Cause [Cm] daddy felt like a bum
See, daddy had a job
But his job was to keep [Eb] the food on the table
For you and mom
And at the time
[Bb] Every house that we lived in
Either kept getting [Ab] broken into and robbed
I shot up on the block
And [C] your mom
Was saving money for you in a jar
Trying [Eb] to start a piggy bank for you
So you could go to college
[Bb] Almost had a thousand dollars
Until someone came and stole [Ab] it
And I know it hurt so bad
It broke your [Bb] mom's heart
And [Cm] it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
[Eb] Mom and dad were talking when I lied
So mom would move back [Bb] on the traumas in the flat
And then dad moved back to the other side [Ab] of 8 Mile
In El Faro
And that's when [Bb] daddy went to [Eb] California
With his CD and met Dr.
Dre
Dr. Dre
[Bb] Dr. Dre
I'm stuck on [Cm] the ground
So why do [Ab] I try?
I know I'm gonna [Eb] fall down
I thought [Bb] I could fly
Why did [Cm] I drown?
[Ab] Oh, why?
It's coming down
You walk in Yellow jumpsuit Poor room [Eb] Crack jokes
You got inside the boot
[Bb] By your smoke
And you no more
You seem like your own opinion, not [Ab] one you conform
Can't make a decision, you keep questioning [Cm] yourself
Second guessing and it's almost like you're begging for my help
Like [Eb] I'm your leader, you're supposed to fucking be [Bb] my mentor
I can endure no more demand you remember who [Ab] you are
It was you who believed in me when everyone [C] was telling you to serve me
Everyone at the fucking label is [Eb] telling the truth
You risked your career for me, I know it [Bb] as well as you
Nobody wanted to vote for the white boy trying to thrive [Ab] in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe [Bb] it's my turn to [C] save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is [Eb] way more
But I ain't giving up faith, and you ain't giving [Bb] up on me
Get up Drake, I ain't gonna need you, come back [Ab] for fuck's sake
I don't see none of them, all I see [Bb] is slammers
All [Eb] you big-wass up friends, all I need is help
I shot for [Bb] the sky, I'm stuck [Cm] on the ground
Why do [Ab] I try, I know I'm gonna [Eb] fall down
I thought I [Bb] could fly, why did [Cm] I drown
Never [Ab] know why it's coming down
[Cm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ebm]
