By Now

        Bm            A             G
Cause I dropped out freshman year
N.C.
Signed a record deal
N.C.
Then made an album
         Bm     A         G
No one's ever gonna hear
N.C.
Now they've all graduated college
           Bm          A         G
I've never left this studio
N.C.
Memories of half my life are missing
                        Bm      A            G
I still haven't written anything, you know


[Pre-Chorus]
    Em
But I'll keep breaking my own heart
A
Finding ways to make it out
    D                  C#/D  Bm
I'm still not where  I wanna be
   Bm               A         G
So what more do you want from me?

G

[Chorus]
                  D
I should have been somebody
   Bm      F#m         G
By now
                  D
I should have been somebody
   Bm      F#m
By now
     Em                 A
Not a  damn thing has changed
    D                C#/D
Another year goes by
           Bm       A      G
And no one knows my name
N.C.
I should've been somebody


[Verse 2]
N.C.
Since I was five I never stop performing
     Bm        A           G
Even when my dad got sick
N.C.
I stayed behind my family moved to Houston
Bm               A                    G
One more fucking show I just couldn't miss


[Pre-Chorus]
     Em
I've sacrificed more than enough
    A
And after everything I've done
    D                 C#/D  Bm
I'm still not where I wanna be
   Bm               A         G
So what more do you want from me

G

[Chorus]
                  D
I should have been somebody
   Bm      F#m      G
By now
                  D
I should have been somebody
   Bm      F#m      G
By now
     Em                A
Not a damn thing has changed
    D            C#/D
Another year goes by
           Bm       A      G
And no one knows my name
                  D
I should have been somebody
N.C.
I could have been somebody
