[Chorus]
F                 C
I'm nothing but a low life
C                 F
Thinking 'bout my own life
F                   C
I can't help myself from falling
C                  F
Can't help myself from falling
F                 C
I'm nothing but a low life
C                 F
Thinking 'bout my own life
F                   C
I'm trying to fight the good old fight
C                 G
But after it all, I'm still just a low life

[Verse 1]
C                                          E
Wanna be a better man, but it's a hard life
F                            G                E
Without that love inside you, it's a cold bind
F                        G                        E
And I started to reflect on all that's been before
F                   G                              E
You start to wonder, but you, but you can't be sure

[Pre-Chorus]
F                 G
Now please tell me I'm broke
E            F                  G                  E
It's much easier that way cause I just let you down
             F
It's much easier that way

[Chorus]
F                 C
I'm nothing but a low life
C                 F
Thinking 'bout my own life
F                   C
I can't help myself from falling
C                  F
Can't help myself from falling
F                 C
I'm nothing but a low life
C                 F
Thinking 'bout my own life
F                   C
I'm trying to fight the good old fight
C                 G
But after it all, I'm still just a low life

[Verse 2]
C                       F
A low life was my uncle when he hit that *
C                      
That glass * and that rock had him toting
F                    C
He was higher than a * with a dozen issues
                        F#
And every time he cried, he never reached for tissue
F                                               G
Attention seeking, sneaking, screeching when he sneaking leaving
E                                   F
My grandma hid the hammer from him, he be out there beefing
G             E
Always lying, don't believe him
E
He be out there thieving
                        F
On the corners chiefing, middle finger to *
                    G
Always telling mama he just got a new job
E                            F
So he could get some dollars for a metro card
                     G
He just get a 40 oz, now he livin' large
E                    F
He even took my bike and sold it, man I swear to God

[Chorus]
F                G
I'm still just a low life
E             F
Nothing but a low life
E                        G
I can't help myself from falling
E                        F
I can't help myself from falling
G                E        F
I'm nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
E                          F
Thinking 'bout my own life (thinking 'bout my own life)
                        G
I'm trying to fight the good old fight
E                                  F        C F C F C F C F
But after it all, I'm still just a low life
