IntroBB/A#G#mG#m/F#EE/D#EF#Verse 1BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
I'm bad news, a black and blues-er
EE/D#EF#
Who's a loser, a merry-go-round spiraling down
BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
I'm all used up, I'm chaffed and chewed up
EE/D#EF#sus
Who's just screwed up, the same old Charlie hitting the ground.
ChorusF#BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
Cause I'll never be the soul of a man, noble and wise
EE/D#EF#
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
Like the soul of a man, heroic and true
EE/D#EF#F#/E
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
F#/D#F#/C#
What else could I do?
Verse 2BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
Stupid Hubris, no excuses
EE/D#EF#
Blew my fuses, I guess I'm just a ruse in my fathers shoes
BB/A#G#mG#m/FEE/D#
Not amusing, no cofusing, this streak of losing
EF#sus
Totally brutal and useless too.
ChorusF#BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
How can I be the soul of a man, noble and wise
EE/D#EF#
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
BB/A#G#mG#m/F#
Like the soul of a man, heroic and true
EE/D#EF#F#/E
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
F#/D#
What else could I...
[Break]
G#mD#m
Just when I'm reaching for that rung at the top
EF#
I'm that broken heel unsteady and ready ready to drop
ChorusCC/BAmAm/G
When will I be the soul of a man, noble and wise
FF/EFG
Like the soul of a man who lifted me high
CC/BAmAm/G
Soul of a man, heroic and true
FF/EFGG/F
Like the soul of a man that I looked up to
G/EG/DCC/B
What else could I do?
AmAm/GFF/E
I'll never be, no I'll never be
FG
I have gone and let you down
CC/BAmAm/G
Oh! Soul! Soul of a man

Here comes that familiar sound
FGG#A#C
Same old Charlie hitting the ground
