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, becauseBeyoncé 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 freezesverse 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, soBeyoncé 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 freezesPost-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 'causeBeyoncé 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 freezesPost-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.
