Walk On Water

Chords

Standard

Chorus: Beyoncé]
C  Bb      Am   F                 G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus
C  Bb      Am   F                     G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes


[Verse 1: Eminem]
Am
Why are expectations so high, is it the bar I set?
         F
My arms, I stretch, but I can’t reach
          C
A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as soon as I grab
Am
Squeeze, I lose my grip like the flying trapeze, into the dark, I plummet
        F
Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark’s high
            C
Butterflies rip apart my stomach knowing that no matter what

Dm
Bars I come with, you're gonna harp, gripe, and that's a hard Vicodin to swallow
           F
So I scrap these, as pressure increases
        G
Like khakis, I feel the ice cracking, because


[Chorus: Beyoncé]
C  Bb      Am   F                 G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus
C  Bb      Am   F                     G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes


[Verse 2: Eminem]
         Am
It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set

Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
F
  Will this step just be another misstep
   C
To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect
Am
   I've garnered, the rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
F
And it always feels like I'm hitting the mark
          C
’Til I go sit in the car, listen, and pick it apart

       Dm
Like, "this shit is garbage", God’s given me all this

Still I feel no different regardless
     F
Kids look to me like as a god, this is retarded
        G
If only they knew, it's a facade and it’s exhaustive
Dm
   And I try to not listen to nonsense

But if you bitches are trying to strip me of my confidence
                 F
Mission accomplished, I'm not God-sent
       G
Nas, Rakim, Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith, and I'm not Prince, so


[Chorus: Beyoncé]
C  Bb      Am   F                 G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus
C  Bb      Am   F                     G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes


[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé]
                 F     G          Am
’Cause I'm only human, just like you
C             F            G        Am
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
        C                   F              G             Am
I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
           C     F               G
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh


[Verse 3: Eminem]
         Am
It's true, I'm a Rubik's, a beautiful mess, at times juvenile, yes
                  F
I goof and I jest, a flawed human, I guess
C
But I'm doing my best to not ruin your ex-
Am
pectations and meet 'em, but first, the "Speedom" verse

Now, Big Sean, he's going too fast
                           F
Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
                           C
There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating out my palm

      Dm
Every album, song I was spazzin' the fuck out on

And now I'm getting clowned and frowned on
             F
But the only one who's looking down on me that matters
         G
Now's Deshaun, am I lucky to be around this long?
Dm
   Begs the question, though especially after the methadone
              F
As yesterday fades and the Dresden home is burnt to the ground
        G
And all that's left of my house is lawn, the crowds are gone

Am
   And it's time to wash out the blonde, sales decline, the curtains drawn
F
   They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head from out behind
C
   And everyone who has doubt, remind
Am
   Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times
F                                      C
   Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares or gives a fuck about your rhymes

Dm
   And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine
       F
'Cause how do I, ever let this mic go without a fight
G
   When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?
Dm
   But when I do fall from these heights, though, I'll be fine
        F
I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
           G
But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around 'cause


[Chorus: Beyoncé]
C  Bb      Am   F                 G
I walk on water, but I ain't no Jesus
C  Bb      Am   F                     G
I walk on water, but only when it freezes


[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé]
                 F     G          Am
’Cause I'm only human, just like you
C             F            G        Am
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
        C                   F              G             Am
I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
           C     F               G
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh


[Outro: Beyoncé & Eminem]
   C  Bb        Am            C
If I walked on water, I would drown

N.C.
'Cause I'm just a man, but as long as I got a mic I'm godlike
N.C.
So me and you are not alike, bitch, I wrote "Stan"
