Lose Yourself by Eminem

VERSE 1-
Em                                     D 
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
             Am                                                    C  
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
 Em                                                                    D       
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready                                 
             Am                                    C
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
            Em                                                    D
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
 Am                                                          C
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
Em                                                    D
He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now
Am                                                 C
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
Em                                 D
Snap, back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Am                                         C                                               Em
Oh, there goes Rabbit he choked, he's so mad but he won't
                                 D                                        Am
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows
                                                C                                          Em
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope
                                               D                                        Am
He knows that but he's broke, he so stagnant he knows
                                                C
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Em                                    C
Back to the lab again, yo
                                       Am
This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment
         C
And hope it don't pass him (X3)

CHORUS-
C
Well this is the music
        Am                                          Em                              D
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
          C                                                  Am
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
           Em                                         D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo    X2




Em, D

VERSE 2-
Em                                                    D
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
Am                                            C
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
Em                                 D                             Am
As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring
C                                   Em
But superstardom's close to post mortem
D                                      Am
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
C                                         Em
He blows it's all over, these h**s is all on him
D                                       Am                                               C
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
                   Em                                                 D
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
   Am                                         C
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
Em                                            D
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
Am                                             C
These h**s don't want him no mo', he's cold product
Em                                                     D
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
Am                                            C                                   Em
He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds
                D                                     Am
I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on
C
Da da dum, da dum da da da da

CHORUS

Em,D


No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf****n' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped, writin' the next cipher
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these *** damn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin' on and too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf****n' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

CHORUS
