Verse 1:
I don't talk to anyone from [D] high school
Cause I [Bm]dropped out [A] freshman [G] year
Signed a record deal
Then made an [D] album
No one's [Bm]ever [A] gonna [G] hear
Now they've all graduated [D] college
I've never [Bm] left this [A] [G] studio
Memories [D] of half my life are [G] missing
I've still [Bm] haven't written [A] anything you [G] know
Prechorus:
But I'll keep [Em] breaking my own heart
[A] Finding ways to make it out
I'm [D] still not what I [F#m] wanna [Bm] be
So [Bm]what more do you [A] want from [G] me
Chorus:
[G] I should've been [D]somebody
By [Bm] [A] [D]now
[A] [G] I should've been [D] somebody
By [Bm] [A] [G]now
Not a [Em] damned thing's [A] changed
And [D] now the years go [A] by
No one [Bm] knows my [A] name
[G] I should've been somebody
Verse 2:
Since I was five I never stopped [D] performing
Even [Bm] when my [A] dad got [G] sick
Stayed behind my family moved to [D] Houston
One more [Bm] f"king show [A] I just couldn't [G] exist
Pre chorus:
I've [Em] sacrificed more than enough
And after [A] everything I've done
I'm [D] still not where I [F#m]wanna [Bm] be
So [Bm] what more do you [A] want from [G] me
[G] I could've been somebody
