Dm
Dm Gm
Hi there Ren, it's been a little while, did you miss me?
Dm
You thought you'd buried me, didn't you? Risky
Gm
'Cause I always come back, deep down, you know that
Dm
Deep down, you know I'm always in the periphery
Ren, aren't you pleased to see me?
Gm
It's been weeks since we spoke bro, I know you need me
Dm
You're the sheep, I'm the shepherd, not your place to lead me
Gm
Not your place to be biting off the hand that feeds me
Dm A
Hi Ren, I've been taking some time to be distant
Bb
I've been taking some time to be still
F
I've been taking some time to be by myself
Dm
Since my therapist told me I'm ill
A
And I've been making some progress lately
Bb
And I've learnt some new coping skills
F
So I haven't really needed you much, man
Dm*
I think we need to just step back and chill
Gm
Ren, you sound more insane than I do
Dm
You think that those doctors are really there to guide you?
You've been through this a million times
Gm Dm
Your civilian mind is so perfect at always being lied to
Okay, take another pill boy
Gm
Drown yourself in the sound of white noise
Dm
Follow this ten-step program, rejoice
Gm*
All your problems will be gone! Fuckin' dumb boy
Dm A
Nah, mate, this time it's different, man, trust me
Bb
I feel like things might be falling in place
F
And my music's been kinda doing bits too
Dm
Like I actually might do something great
A
And when I'm gone, maybe I'll be remembered
Bb
For doing something special with myself
F
That's why I don't think that we should talk, man
Dm*
'Cause when you're with me, it never seems to help
N.C.
You think that you can amputate me?
N.C.
I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we
N.C.
We are one, split in two that makes one, so you see
You got to kill you if you wanna kill me
Dm
I'm not left over dinner, I'm not scraps on the side
Gm
Oh, your music is thriving? Delusional guy
Dm
Where's your top ten hit? Where's your interview with Oprah?
Gm*
Where are your Grammies, Ren? Nowhere!
Dm A
Yeah but, my music's not commercial like that
Bb
I never chased numbers, statistics or stats
F
I never write hooks for the radio, they never even play me
Dm
So why would I concern myself with that?
A
But my music is really connecting
Bb
And the people who find it, respect it
F
And for me, that's enough 'cause this life's been tough
Dm*
So it gives me a purpose I can rest in
Man, you sound so pretentious
Gm
Ren, your music is so self-centred
Dm
No one wants to hear another song about
Gm*
How much you hate yourself, trust me
Dm
You should be so lucky, having me inside you to guide you
Gm
Remind you to manage expectations
Dm
Provide you perspective, that thing you neglected, I get it
Gm Gm* Dm
You wanna be a big deal, next Jimi Hendrix? Forget it
Man, it's not like that
Gm
Man it's just like that, I'm inside you, you twat
Dm
No, it's not man, you're wrong, when I write, I belong
Gm Gm*
Let me break the fourth wall by acknowledging this song
Dm
Ren sits down, has a stroke of genius
Gm
He wants to write a song that was not done previous
Dm Dm*
A battle with his subconscious, Eminem did it
Played on guitar, Plan B did it
Dm
Man, you're not original, you criminal, rip-off artist
Gm Dm
The pinnacle of your success is stealing other people's material
Gm*
Ren, mate, we've heard it all before
Uh, "she sells seashells on the sea shore"
Dm A
Fuck you, I don't need you, I don't need to hear this
Bb
'Cause I'm fine by myself, I'ma genius
F
And I will be great, and I will make waves
Dm*
And I'll shake up the whole world beneath us
Gm
That's right, speak your truth, your fuckin' God complex leaks out of you
Dm Gm*
It's refreshing to actually hear you say it instead of downplay it
N.C.
"Ugh, music Is all about the creative process and if people can find
Something to relate to within that, then that's just a bonus"
Dm
Fuck you, I'ma fuckin' kill you, Ren
Gm
Well fuckin' kill me then, let's fuckin' have you Ren
Dm
I'm a do it, watch me prove it, who are you to doubt my music?
A A*
'Cause I call the shots. I choose if you die
Bb Bb*
Yeah, I call the shots, and so I who choose who survives
F F*
I'll tie you up in knots when I'll lock you inside

[Verse 1]
Dm
A
Hi Ren, I've been taking some time to be distant
Bb
I've been taking some time to be still
F5 Dm
I've been taking some time to be by myself and I've spent half my life ill
A
But just as sure as the tide starts turning
Bb
Just as sure as the night has dawn
F5 Dm
Just as sure as the rainfall soon runs dry when you stand in an eye of a storm
[Verse 2]
A
I was made to be tested and twisted
Bb
I was made to be broken and beat
F5 Dm
I was made by His hand, it's all part of His plan that I stand on my own two feet
A
And you know me, my will is eternal
Bb
And you know me, you've met me before
F5 Dm
Face to face with a beast, I will rise from the east, and I'll settle on the ocean floor
[Verse 3]
A
And I go by many names also
Bb
Some people know me as hope
F5 Dm
Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope
A
And you know how I know that I'll prosper?
Bb
'Cause I stand here beside you today
F5 Dm
I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain and I didn't once flinch or shake
[Verse 4]
A
So cower at the man I've become
Bb
When I sing from the top of my lungs
F5
That I won't retire, I'll stand in your fire
Dm
Inspire the meek to be strong
A
And when I am gone, I will rise
Bb
In the music that I left behind
F5
Ferocious, persistent, immortal like you
We're a coin with two different sides
[Break]
