Verse:  0:00-1:08
          C
I've been dragging this mask all over 
Em
town with my face still 
A
in it no one saw that I 
F
did it
       C
Things they've done to me you'd never 
Em
believe - believe me they're 
A
true things I've had to
F
do to get next to 
G
you I need a straight-away 
A                        F
ticket to a southwestern state

Have I broke all the rules I've made

Have I broke all the rules I've made


Verse:  1:31- 2:39

     C
Been dragging this past all over
Em
town, with my life still
A
in it, every single 
F
minute, and the
C
things, the things, I've done to me
Em
well you would never believe
A
believe me they're true
F
all these things I've had to do to get next to
G
you, I need a straight-away
A
ticket to a southwestern state
