NateWantsToBattle - Paid In Exposure

      [Intro]
(Optional: Palm mute in place of the length of four chords)


[Verse 1]
N.C. 
Stand straight, keep it right on track
N.C. 
Gotta step on the outcast, your deck is stacked
N.C. 
Talk soft right behind their backs
N.C. 
Before you know it, you'll be one of them

Am
Keep kind words up out your mouth
            F
Throw their name in the mud
           E
Now you're heading south
Am
Don't let them see your face
  F                               E
A facade's what you need for the fame
(E)
So blame the game


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
All of these petty things
Am
Everything you want it seems
F               E
Trusting far as you can throw her
Am
Give a bit, take a lot
Am
Give it everything you got it
F               E
Worth every bit of exposure

F             Ab
All curtains drawn
           Am      G              F      Em
A stage of smog is setting up the scene
F          G                   Adim           (E)
Your final call won't blackout all the fake I see


[Chorus]
Am G    F                 C    Em
I never meant to fit this mold
Am  G      F              C    Em
I'm simply doing what I'm told
F              G
Painted up and watered down
     Em                    Am
To a shell that's hollowed out
F        Em                   Am
Before I knew I became one of them

Am Am Am

Am
Woah-oh, one of them

Am Am Am


[Verse 2]
Am
Pull every string attached
F
Verify all the tropes
         E
Ain't no turning back
Am
From your point of no return
F                           E
Make a habit to cross every bridge that you burned


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
All of these petty things
Am
Lambo's and your shiny rings
F            E
Go as far as you can throw it
Am
Give a bit take a lot
Am
Fill your cup it's not enough
F                E
Heart's on E and we both know it

F            Ab
All curtains drawn
           Am      G              F      Em
A stage of smog is setting up the scene (is setting up the scene)
F          G                   Ab             Em
Your final call won't blackout all the fake I see


[Chorus]
Am G    F                 C    (Em)
I never meant to fit this mold
Am  G      F              C    (Em)
I'm simply doing what I'm told
F              G
Painted up and watered down
     Em                    Am  (G)
To a shell that's hollowed out
F        Em            Am
Before I knew I became one of them

Am Am Am

Am
Woah-oh, one of them

Am Am Am


[Bridge]
Am
You swear your name holds so much weight and all demand
Am
So what's it like to live life as your own biggest fan? (Must be nice!)

E
But on and on, it comes around (Yeah)
E
Congrats on your new love you found
E
In love with every single sound
E
And word that's coming out your mouth


[Chorus]
Am G    F                 C     (Em)
I never meant to fit this mold
Am  G      F              C     (Em)
I'm simply doing what I'm told
F              G
Painted up and watered down
     E                     Am   (G)
To a shell that's hollowed out
F        E             Am
Before I knew I became one of them

Am Am Am

Am
One of them

Am Am Am
