[Intro]
D     Bm   G   D
Bm   G
 
 
[Chorus]
 D               Bm           G
I’m half the man I used to be
     D                      Bm         G
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
          D
I used to think I had it all
                Bm                G
But when you’re up all you do is fall
                D
And that’s why I’m
             Bm           G
Half the man I used to be
 
 
[Verse 1]
                D
Trials and tribulations
D
All my past trauma
             Bm                    G
Generational curses from daddy and mama
               D
Heartbreak and lies
D
Dirty soul ties
             Bm                       G
Mixed with addictions that clouded my eyes
             D
I’ve been mistaken and taken for granted
                  Bm                    G
And locked in the prison that I call my mind
                  D
And now that I’ve lived and I’ve learned
                                         Bm                      G
And I’ve built and I’ve burned all these bridges I’ll leave it behind
G
And that’s why
 
 
[Chorus]
 D               Bm           G
I’m half the man I used to be
     D                      Bm         G
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
          D
I used to think I had it all
                Bm                G
But when you’re up all you do is fall
                D
And that’s why I’m
             Bm
Half the man I used to be
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                      D
Don’t ask the reason I changed
D
Ask yourself why you stayed the same
Bm                       G
I couldn’t sleep in that bed I made
D
I needed more in life
D
I tried every remedy prescribed
Bm
Getting drunk every night
G                      D
Letting women waste my time
D
Now I’m in a phase I can sleep alone
                          Bm
I don’t ever chase, I got God
                                  G
Letting go of pain that was never mine
G
Trying to bear the weights
       D
Not my job
                                  Bm
Cause that’s the man I used to be
                G
And he ain't no use to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 D               Bm           G
I’m half the man I used to be
     D                      Bm         G
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
          D
I used to think I had it all
                Bm                G
But when you’re up all you do is fall
                D
And that’s why I’m
             Bm           G
Half the man I used to be

              I'm half the man I used to be
It's gon' take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you're up, all you do is fall
And that's why I'm
Half the man I used to be

Trials and tribulations
All my past trauma
Generational curses from daddy and mama
Heartbreak and lies
Dirty soul ties
Mixed with addictions that clouded my eyes

I've been mistaken and taken for granted
And locked in the prison that I call my mind
And now that I've lived and I've learned
And I've built and I've burned all these bridges, I'll leave it behind
And that's why

I'm half the man I used to be
It's gon' take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you're up, all you do is fall
And that's why I'm
Half the man I used to be

Don't ask the reason I changed
Ask yourself why you stayed the same
I couldn't sleep in that bed I made
I needed more in life
I tried every remedy prescribed
Getting drunk every night
Letting women waste my time
Now I'm in a phase, I can sleep alone
I don't ever chase, I got God
Letting go of pain that was never mine
Trying to bear the weights
Not my job
'Cause that's the man I used to be
And he ain't no use to me

I'm half the man I used to be
It's gon' take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you're up, all you do is fall
And that's why I'm
Half the man I used to be

I'm half the man I used to be
It's gon' take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you're up, all you do is fall
And that's why I'm
Half the man I used to be
