[Intro]
C C/B Am Am/G F F/E F G
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am Am/G
I'm bad news, a black and blues-er
F F/E F G
Who's a loser, a merry-go-round spiraling down
C C/B Am Am/G
I'm all used up, I'm chaffed and chewed up
F F/E F Gsus
Who's just screwed up, the same old Charlie hitting the ground.
[Chorus]
G C C/B Am Am/G
Cause I'll never be the soul of a man, noble and wise
F F/E F G
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
C C/B Am Am/G
Like the soul of a man, heroic and true
F F/E F G G/F
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
G/E G/D
What else could I do?
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am Am/G
Stupid Hubris, no excuses
F F/E F G
Blew my fuses, I guess I'm just a ruse in my fathers shoes
C C/B Am Am/G F F/E
Not amusing, no confusing this streak of losing
F Gsus
Totally brutal and useless too.
[Chorus]
G C C/B Am Am/G
How can I be the soul of a man, noble and wise
F F/E F G
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
C C/B Am Am/G
Like the soul of a man, heroic and true
F F/E F G G/F
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
G/E
What else could I...
[Break]
Am Em
Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top
F G
I'm that broken heel unsteady and ready ready to drop
[Chorus]
Db Db/C Bbm Bbm/Ab
When will I be the soul of a man, noble and wise
Gb Gb/F Gb Ab
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
Db Db/C Bbm Bbm/Ab
Soul of a man, heroic and true
Gb Gb/F Gb Ab Ab/Gb
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
Ab/F Ab/Eb Db Db/C
What else could I do?
Bbm Bbm/Ab Gb Gb/F
I'll never be, no I'll never be
Gb Ab
I have gone and let you down
Db Db/C Bbm Bbm/Ab
Oh! Soul! Soul of a man
Gb Gb/F
Here comes that familiar sound
Gb Ab Fb Gb Db
Same old Charlie hitting the ground
