verse 1: 
E 
Hey Mr. cage man let me get a fresh breath 
Cherry bomb head strong I could fake my own death 
A 
Hey Mr. fate man shuffle me a ninth life 
I've been wrong, go long, throwing me a sharp right 
E 
   It's not a picture perfect life 
                  F#m 
Not what I had in mind 
(no chord) 
Let me write my own line

Chorus: 
E 
I've got this place 
          A 
That I've filled with empty space 
       B                            E 
Oh I'm trying not to face what I've done 
My hopeless opus 
E                           A 
   I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place 
       B                           E 
Oh I'm trying not to face what's become of me 
My hopeless opus

E 
Hey Mr. safe man hustle me an okay 
I could slide take a dive take it for the home team

Hey Mr. postman slip me one more green note 
I've been low hit the floor looking just to make broke 
E 
   It's not a picture perfect life 
                  F#m 
Not what I had in mind 
(no chord) 
Let me write my own line
