Lyrics

Look up here, man, I’m in in (F)hea ven, ger,

I’ve got scars ing that can’t be (F)seen.

I’ve got dra ma, it can’t be (F)sto len, whirl,

ev ’ry bo dy phone knows me now.

Ain’t that just like (Am)me?)

Look up here, man, I’m in in (F)hea ven, ger,

I’ve got scars ing that left to (F)lose.

I’m so high, ma, it makes my (F)sto len, whirl,

dropped my bo dy phone down be low.

Ain’t that just like (Am)me?)

By the time I got to (D)New York

I was liv ing like a (D7)king,

then I used up all my (D)mon ey,

I was look ing for your (D)***.

This way or (F)no way

you know I’ll be (F)free,

just like that (F)blue bird,

now, ain’t that just like me?
