Tips:
-At the end of verse 3 - you want to only play the 4 central strings of D, and the 4
of F - and palm muting them between strums works well.
-For the last bit, use your thumb for the notes on the low E or you've got no chance!

Verse 1:
I w[A]ent to look for shadows but the sh[D]adows they found me
A D D
I went to swim the ocean but I drowned up in the sea
I w[A]ant to love my woman but she ch[D]ose him over me
I w[A]ant to be somebody else I fe[D]el I won't be free
A G
Is this me for life?
Bridge:
A
Ahhhhh Ahhhhhh
Verse 2:
Chords: As verse 1
I fought to keep from crying as I lay upon the floor
And everyone I knew right then pressed me to the floor
I tried to keep on breathing but the people would not give
And all the evil in the world the people would not give
Is this me for life?
Verse 3:
And if you l[F]eft it up to me [D]they'd all go in the sea
with the gun[C]s and the disease and the industry of weasels
Saying: sell[D] to them the killing gem, [F]attack to get it back
