[Intro]
E B
[Verse 1]
E
We came from nothing
B
And worked our way up to everything
Our friends and family saw us
E
As our heads grew tall
B
Taller than the trees
And now you think you’re above everything
[Pre-Chorus]
E
You did just what you knew not to do
B
You let it go to your head
E
You did the things we said we’d never do
B
And now you’ve thrown it all away
For the things you’ve gained
You said
[Chorus]
E
This is not how it was supposed to be
B
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Some things are never as they seem
E
I’m not who you want me to be
B
These things are never changing
E B
The fame has got the best of me
[Verse 2]
E
And now you’re something
B
Something you should not have become
And everyone they saw you
E
As your head grew tall
B
Taller than this city
In which you look down on everything
[Pre-Chorus]
E
You did just what you knew not to do
B
You let it go to your head
E
You did the things we said we’d never do
B
And now you’ve thrown it all away
For the things you’ve gained
You said
[Chorus]
E
This is not how it was supposed to be
B
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Some things are never as they seem
E
I’m not who you want me to be
B
These things are never changing
E B
The fame has got the best of me
[Bridge]
E B
The fame has got the best of me
(You let it go to your head)
You said
[Chorus]
E
This is not how it was supposed to be
B
The fame has got the best of me
This wasn’t in the dream
Some things are never as they seem
E
I’m not who you want me to be
B
These things are never changing
E B
The fame has got the best of me
