What it's like
[Verse 1]
A E B F#m A E B F#m
In my life all the strife is getting in the way.
A E B F#m A E B F#m
Frankly I did not plan on getting hurt today.
A E B F#m A E B F#m A E
From your chair in the clouds, benevolent are your ways. While the beggar bleeds,
B F#m A E B F#m
the children play. Everyone wants to know why?
[Pre-Chorus]
D A E C#m D
Isn't it always the question,"How do you know my condition?"
[Chorus]

You came down to me to know what it's like, to know what it's like to hurt.

A F#m E D
You came down to me to know what it's like, to know just what it's like.
A E B F#m A E B F#m A E B F#m A E B F#m
To be me. To be us. To be one with the dust. To be lost.
