Capo on the second fret
(You don't *have* to play it with a capo, but it'd be much harder)
(Also, Johnny plays it with the high-E tuned to an F#, but that
only matters in the solo, so we all don't *have* to do it)

Verse:
F#5 D5
I'll open up my head awhile
Its been dead for years
F#5 D5 A5
Musta been a victim of my peers
F#5
One is for my happiness
D5
The other for my health
F#5 D5 A5
The last is something bigger than myself

Chorus:
G5 B5 G5 B5
I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one
G5 B5 C5
I ain't the only one to say
(verse)
I'm talkin' to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong, I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes
(break)
(chorus)
I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
(solo)
(chorus)
I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say

Little pictures in my head are turnin' inside out again
'Cause fuckin' up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully and the futures even worse
You tell me what you fear 'cause I can feel it like a curse
(verse)
Well, you used to be a folk singer, now you're just a joke singer
Ain't no smokin' dope singer, swingin from a rope singer
(chorus)
I ain't the only one, I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
