Am               F
Can you see my emotions
 C                    G
Sinking away in slow motion?
Am                  F
Like a break in the ocean
 C                        G
Just getting lost out at sea
Am               F
Can you see my emotions?
C                     G
Say can you see my devotion?
Am                  F
Like a break in the ocean
 C                        G
Just getting lost out at sea

Chorus:
                   Am    F
I hear what you're saying
                 C    G
I got a bad reputation
                   Am    F
And now you got me praying
                 C    G
For a better situation
                  Am                   F
Feeling like I'm down, d-down, d-down low
                  C                    G
Feeling like I'm down, d-down, d-down low
                  Dm7                  Em7
Guess it's gonna follow me wherever I go
                  F                        G
Guess it's gonna follow me, follow me, I know

                Am    F C G Am F C G
I got a bad reputation

I know that you've been talking
You never see me sleepwalking
Drifting out into nothing
Rolling away in my dreams
Can you feel that I'm falling?
Laying awake till the morning
Every word that I'm calling
Just getting lost out at sea

Chorus

I got a bad reputation


Am   F                  C
So, you got me figured out
G                   Am
Know what I'm all about
    F                  C
I'm all about dollars and green
       G                   Am
Don't care about nothing but me
F                  C
You got me figured out
      G                 Am
You know what I'm all about
       F                  C        G
Don't care about nothing but me, yeah

Chorus

I got a bad reputation
