Capo on the second fret
(You don’t *have* to play it with a capo, but it’d be much harder)
(Also, Johnny plays it with the high-E tuned to an F#, but that
only matters in the solo, so we all don’t *have* to do it)

I’ll open up my head awhile

The last is something bigger than myself

I ain’t the only one to say
(verse)
I’m talkin’ to myself again
I’ll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong, I’m right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes

Little pictures in my head are turnin’ inside out again
‘Cause fuckin’ up takes practice I feel I’m well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully and the futures even worse
You tell me what you fear ’cause I can feel it like a curse
(verse)
Well, you used to be a folk singer, now you’re just a joke singer
Ain’t no smokin’ dope singer, swingin from a rope singer
(chorus)
I ain’t the only one, I ain’t the only one
I ain’t the only one to say
