[Chorus]
Abm   F#           E     Abm
  Too late for the other side
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
Abm   F#           E     Abm
  Too late for the other side
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
Abm   F#
  Too late
                             E
yeah, I can't keep (I can't keep)
                     Abm
chasing you (chasing you)
              E
I'm taking my life back
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
 
 
[Verse 1]
        Abm                       F#
I don't think she understands the sacrifices that I've made
E                       Abm
Maybe if this bitch had acted right I woulda stayed
           B                 F#
But I've already wasted over half my life, I woulda laid
         E                         Abm
Down and died for you, I no longer cry for you, no more pain
          Abm                   F#
Bitch, you took me for granted, took my heart
                             E                Abm
and ran it straight into the planet, into the dirt
 
I can no longer stand it
       B                     F#
Now my respect, I demand it, I'ma take control of this relationship
  E                 Abm
command it and I'ma be the boss of you now, goddamn it
         Abm                   F#
And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me
E                     Abm
So you better hear me out, this much you owe me
             B                       F#
I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you I have stayed
         E                    Abm
Faithful all the way, this is how I fuckin' get repaid?
        Abm                     F#
Look at how I dress, fuckin' baggy sweats, go to work a mess
E                   Abm
Always in a rush to get back to you, I ain't heard you yet
    B                  F#
Not even once say you appreciate me, I deserve respect
E                      Abm
  I've done my best to give you nothin' less than perfectness
    Abm                  F#
And I know that if I end this I'll no longer have nothin' left
    E                           Abm
But you keep treatin' me like a staircase: it's time to fuckin' step
B                       F#
  And I won't be comin' back, so don't hold your fuckin' breath
E                             Abm
You know what you've done, no need to go in-depth
                    Abm                 F#
I told you you'd be sorry if I fuckin' left, I laughed while you wept
         E               Abm
How's it feel now? Yeah, funny, ain't it? You neglected me
B                 F#
  Did me a favor, though, my spirit free you've set
      E                        Abm
But a special place for you in my heart I have kept
            Abm
It's unfortunate, but it's…
 
 
[Chorus]
    F#           E     Abm
Too late for the other side
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
 
(Yeah, can't take no more)
Abm   F#           E     Abm
  Too late for the other side
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
 
 
[Verse 2]
                   Abm                      F#
I feel like when I bend over backwards for you, all you do is laugh
                  E                          Abm                           B
‘Cause that ain't good enough, you expect me to fold myself in half 'til I snap
                F#
Don't think I'm loyal, all I do is rap
          E                        Abm
How can I moonlight on the side? I have no life outside of that
        Abm                   F#
Don't I give you enough of my time? You don't think so, do you?
        E                          Abm
Jealous when I spend time with the girls, why I'm married to you still?
     B                   F#
Man, I don't know, but tonight I'm serving you with papers
      E                      Abm
I'm divorcing you – go marry someone else and make 'em famous!
    Abm                     F#
And take away their freedom like you did to me
                         E                       Abm
Treat 'em like you don't need 'em and they ain't worthy of you
                  B                        F#
Feed 'em the same shit that you made me eat, I'm moving on, forget you
    E                        Abm
Oh, now I'm special? I ain't feel special when I was with you
      Abm                F#
All I ever felt was this helplessness,
                E                      Abm
imprisoned by a selfish bitch, chew me up and spit me out, I fell for this
   B                         F#
So many times it's ridiculous, and still I stick with this, I'm sick of this
E                    Abm                                     Abm
  But in my sickness and addiction, you're addictive as they get
             F#
Evil as they come, vindictive as they make 'em
E                         Abm
My friends keep askin' me why I can't just walk away from
     B                    F#
I'm addicted to the pain, the stress, the drama, I'm drawn to
        E              Abm
Shit, I guess I'm a mess, cursed and blessed, but this time I
Abm                           F#
  Ain't changin' my mind, I'm climbin' out this abyss
       E                            Abm
You're screamin' as I walk out that I'll be missed
                             B                     F#
But when you spoke of people who meant the most to you, you left me off your list
          E                    Abm
Fuck you, hip hop! I'm leavin' you, my life sentence is served, bitch
    Abm
And it's just...
 
 
[Chorus]
    F#           E     Abm
Too late for the other side
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
 
(I'm gone, man)
Abm   F#           E     Abm
  Too late for the other side
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
Abm   F#    E  Abm
  Too late 
B           F#      E    Abm
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
