A             Dm/A 
I'm right here
A             
And I heard everything you said
            Dm/A  A
Those things
                        D
To try to get inside my head

Is full
    Bm                 A
Now there's no room in here
       Dm/A A
For you

You can't teach me the lesson
A         Dm/A A
Now I know
I don't need you to tell me
D                    Bm              E
How it's done 'cause I know how it's done

Chorus
            D                           E
See all the accolades, sitting up on my shelf
        D                         Bm                         
I'm the man now, sticking it to myself
                 Bm7b5
Sticking it to myself

Sticking it to my-

Verse 2
A           Dm/A  A
Self-control
                            A
That's not the only thing I lack
      Dm/A A
A plan

Just my own gun against my
D                 Bm
Back down now and let this hostage
A      Dm/A  A
Go away

I'm trying to figure something

A            Dm/A  A
Makes me feel
                        D
Like I'd do anything it takes to be
  Bm             E
A fucking winner now

Chorus
            D                           E
See all the accolades, sitting up on my shelf
        D                             Bm
I'm the man now, I'm sticking it to myself
                 Bm7b5
Sticking it to myself
                 A
Sticking it to myself

Bridge
A (palm-muted)
You don't seem interested in what I just said
If you're not listening then don't nod your head

Bm
I thought so
       Bm7b5
That's what I thought that

Verse 3
A           Dm/A  A
Someday soon

This job is going to kill me
A          Dm/A  A
Dead inside
                         D
Unless I kill it first instead
              Bm              E
and when they come for me I'm gone

Chorus
                 D                           E
There's just the accolades, sitting up on my shelf
        D                             Bm
I'm the man now, I'm sticking it to myself
                  Bm7b5
Sticking it to myself
                 A   Dm/A A
Sticking it to myself
