[Verse 1]
     Eb
So exhausted with ego
     Gm
And feelings that freeload
     F
And leave me so empty
        Eb
All the parties of people
Gm
Moving the needle
  F
Obsessing, never-ending
(Doesn't really matter)

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb
Watch me take it over,
move your body over
Gm
Make a little room for me
F
See 'em at the top or
leave 'em at the bottom
F
Focus on the come up,
become someone
Eb
Movin' up the ladder
doesn't really matter
   Gm
As long as I'm in the lead
F
See 'em at the top,
but leave 'em at the bottom
Focus on the come up,
 become someone
[Chorus]
Eb
The more that I grow,
     Gm
the more that I've
come to know
           F
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
       Dm
And it hurts to be nobody
Eb                      Gm
Playin' this game, it's easy
 to lose both ways
           F
Yeah, it's hard to be someone
       Dm
And it hurts to be nobody

[Verse 2]
Eb         Gm
Oh, I hate loving
 what you think
  F
I hate the way
I change the way I speak
    Eb               Gm
I'm stuck, oh, Lord, feeding
 on the hype
     F
But just because I like it,
 doesn't make it right, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb
Watch me take it over,
 move your body over
Gm
Make a little room for me
F
See 'em at the top or
leave 'em at the bottom
F
Focus on the come up,
 become someone
