Cliff Eberhardt - Good Example
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Now that you surround yourself with thieves
Em
Where is the good you shared with me
F Em
Private keys are used just to unlock it
F Em G
Everybody's hands in someone else's pocket
[Verse 2]
C
Everyone's a fool who's not like you
Em
Everybody's doing what you do
F Em
Why should you pay if someone else is buying
F Em G
You won't tell the truth cause everybody's lying
[Chorus]
Am Em
No one wants to be reminded
F E
No one likes to hear their best is far behind them
Am G
I don't want to the good example
F G
I don't want to be the good example
[Verse 3]
C
If this gives you the power to be right
Em
No matter what you're doing in your life
F Em
Secret of the bedroom have been opened to you
F Em G
Criticizing others for the same things you do
[Chorus]
Am Em
No one wants to be reminded
F E
No one likes to hear their best is far behind them
Am Gsus G
I don't want to the good example
F G C Em G
I don't want to be the good example
[Bridge]
C
You must justify the thing you do
F
And are not concerned with my opinion
C F
I recall the good that was in you when we were young
D E
Before you closed the door
Am G Am G
What's happened to you, what's happened to you
[Verse 4]
C
Now you surround yourself with thieves
Em
Ignoring things that we use to believe
F Em
You won't change because success is far too tempting
F Em G
One day you'll awake and find your heart so empty
[Verse 5]
C
I have made mistakes but not like you
Em
I have changed my life because of you
F Em
I was there for you when you were poor and needy
F Em G
I would never do someone the way you did me
[Chorus]
Am Em
No one wants to be reminded
F E
No one likes to hear their best is far behind them
Am G
I don't want to the good example
F G
I don't want to be the good example
