Mark Erelli - Hollow man

They picked a^Fnother one^C off the ^Fvine ^C Scooped out the ^Fseeds in the ^Cback of his ^Gmind Well, he ^Amfilled up his ^Ghead with ^Chalf-truths and ^Flies And put the ^Cfinishing touch on the ^Gperfect disguise

And they ^Crolled out a ^Fcarpet and ^Cthrew a parade^F Con^Cvinced every^Fone he had ^Csomething to ^Gsay They ^Amsmiled as they ^Gwatched from the ^Ctwo-way ^Fmirror As he ^Ctold all the people what they ^Gwanted to hear

Hey_^C__, have you ^Fheard the ^Cstory? ^F The ^Csame old song, ^Gsame old dance ^AmHey, he's ^Gbound for ^Cglory ^F He ain't ^Cnothing but a ^Ghollow ^Cman ^{G C}

He basked in the ^Fglow of ^Cfortune and ^Ffame Even ^Cthrew the first ^Fpitch at the ^CWorld Series ^Ggame He ^Amalways main^Gtained he had ^Cnothing to ^Fhide No one ^Cever suspected he was ^Gempty inside

Hey.^C.., have you ^Fheard the ^Cstory? ^F They ^Cset him up so high, he ^Gnever had a chance ^AmHey, you can ^Gsee right ^Cthrough him ^F He ain't ^Cnothing but a ^Ghollow ^Cman ^G

Then came the ^Fday his ^Ccover was ^Fblown Their little ^CFrankenstein ^Fmonster got ^Cout of con^Gtrol So he ^Amlooked to the ^Gones who had ^Csaved him be^Ffore Only to ^Cfind that they'd changed all the ^Glocks on the doors

Then the ^Cpress circled ^Fround with ^Cblood in their ^Feyes Each one ^Cwanting a ^Fpiece of his ^Crapid de^Gmise And they ^Amcast him a^Gside when from ^Cglory he ^Ffell Now he's ^Cjust another bum with a ^Gstory to tell

He^Cy, he's ^Fless than ^Czero ^F The ^Cgreater the height, the ^Gharder you land Ain't it ^Amhard when you ^Gfind your ^Chero ^F Ain't ^Cnothing but a ^Ghollow ^Amman ^DAin't ^Fnothing but a ^Ghollow ^Fman_^C__
