Fm Db Eb
Lately I've been hard to reach ■
Fm
I've been too long on my own
Db Eb Fm
Everybody has a private world where they can be alone

[Verse]
Fm
I'm just so fucking depressed
Eb
I just can't seem to get out this slump
Dbmaj7
If I could just get over this hump
Cm
But I need something to pull me out this dump
Fm
I took my bruises took my lumps
Eb
Fell down then I got right back up
Dbmaj7
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
Db Eb
In order for me to pick the mic back up
Fm
I don't know how or why or when
Eb
I ended up in this position I'm in
Dbmaj7
I'm starting to feel distant again
Cm
So I decided just to pick this pen
Fm
Up and try to make an attempt
Eb
To vent but I just can't admit
Dbmaj7
Or come to grips with the fact that
Db Eb
I may be done with rap I need a new outlet
Fm
And I know some shit's so hard to swallow
Eb
But I just can't sit back and wallow
Dbmaj7
In my own sorrow but I know one fact:
Cm Fm
I'll be one tough act to follow
Fm
One tough act to follow
Eb
I'll be one tough act to follow
Db Dbmaj7
Here today gone tomorrow
Eb
But you'd have to walk a thousand miles
[Chorus]
Fm
In my shoes just to see
Eb
What it's like to be me
Dbmaj7
I'll be you let's trade shoes
Db
Just to see what it'd be like to
Fm
Feel your pain you feel mine
Eb
Go inside each other's minds
Db Dbmaj7 Db
Just to see what we find
Eb
Look at shit through each other's eyes
Fm Eb Dbmaj7
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
Db Eb Fm Eb Db Dbmaj7
They ■ ■ ■ can all get fucked just stay true to you so
Db Eb Fm Eb Dbmaj7
Don't ■ let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
Db Eb Fm Eb Dbmaj7 Eb
They ■ ■ ■ can all get fucked just stay true to you so
[Verse]
Fm
I think I'm startin' to lose my sense of humor
Eb
Everything's so tense and gloom
Dbmaj7
I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature
Eb
Of the room just as soon as
Fm
I walk in it's like all eyes on me
Eb
So I try to avoid any eye contact
Dbmaj7
'cause if I do that then it opens a door
Eb
For conversation like I want that
Fm
I'm not lookin' for extra attention
Eb
I just wanna be just like you
Dbmaj7
Blend in with the rest of the room
Cm
Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
Fm
I don't need no fuckin' man servant
Eb
Tryna follow me around and wipe my ass
Dbmaj7
Laugh at every single joke I crack
Db Eb Fm
And half of 'em ain't even funny like Ha
Fm
Marshall you're so funny man
Eb Dbmaj7
You should be a comedian goddamn
Dbmaj7
Unfortunately I am
Eb
I just hide behind the tears of a clown
Fm
So why don't you all sit down
Eb
Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
Db
Hell we don't gotta trade our shoes
Eb Fm
And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles
[Chorus]
Fm
In my shoes just to see
Eb
What it's like to be me
Dbmaj7
I'll be you let's trade shoes
Eb
Just to see what it'd be like to

Feel your pain you feel mine

Go inside each other's minds

[Verse]
Fm
Nobody asked for life to deal us
Eb
With these bullshit hands we're dealt
Dbmaj7
We gotta take these cards ourselves
Eb
And flip 'em don't expect no help
Fm
Now I could've either just sat
Eb
On my ass and pissed and moaned
Dbmaj7
Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
Eb
And get up and get my own
Fm
I was never the type of kid
Eb
To wait by the door and pack his bags
Dbmaj7
And sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
Eb
For a dad to show up who never did
Fm
I just wanted to fit in
Eb
In every single place every school I went
Dbmaj7
I dreamed of being that cool kid
Eb
Even if it meant actin' stupid
Fm
Aunt Edna always told me:
Eb
Keep making that face it'll get stuck like that
Db Dbmaj7
Meanwhile I'm just standin' there
Cm
Holdin' my tongue tryin' to talk like this
Fm
'til I stuck my tongue on that frozen
Eb
Stop sign pole at eightyearsold
Dbmaj7
I learned my lesson then 'cause I wasn't
Db Eb
Tryin' to impress my friends no mo'
Fm
But I already told you my whole life story
Eb
Not just based on my description
Dbmaj7
'cause where you see it from where you're sittin'
Cm Fm
It's probably a one hundred and ten% different
Fm
I guess we would have to walk a
Eb
Mile in each other's shoes at least
Dbmaj7
What size you wear I wear ten's
Db Eb Fm
Let's see if you can fit your feet
[Chorus]
Fm
In my shoes just to see
Eb
What it's like to be me
Dbmaj7
I'll be you let's trade shoes
Eb
Just to see what it'd be like to
