[Verse 1]
               Am                                 E
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
           Am                                  E
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against
          F                                           E
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
                 Am
Sick is the mind of the motherfuckin' kid that's behind
                     Am                                         E
All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans, explodin'
               Am                                               E
Tempers flarin' from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin'
                F                                             E
Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin'
                   Am
Keep kickin' ass in the morning and takin' names in the evenin'
                             Am                             E
Leave 'em with the taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
                     Am                                       E
See, they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out
                  F                                     E
Look at me now! I bet you're prob'ly sick of me now
                    Am                                                     E
Ain't you, Mama? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now!

[Chorus]
                Am   E
I'm sorry, Mama
                          Am        E
I never meant to hurt you
                          F
I never meant to make you cry
         E                                     Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
  E                     Am    E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
                          Am        E
I never meant to hurt you
                          F
I never meant to make you cry
         E                                     Am           E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (Ha!)

[Verse 2]
                   Am
I got some skeletons in my closet
       E
And I don't know if no one knows it
          Am                                         E
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
           F                                          E
I'ma expose it; I'll take you back to '73
              Am
Before I ever had a multi-platinum-selling CD
           Am                                  E
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
                 Am                                           E
My faggot father must've had his panties up in a bunch
                F                                        E
‘Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
        Am
No, I don't, on second thought, I just fuckin' wished he would die
                Am                                     E
I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leavin' her side
            Am                              E
Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
                          F                                         E
To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake

I maybe made some mistakes
                     Am
But I'm only human, but I'm man enough to face 'em today
Am                                   E
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
                           Am                                        E
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun
                  F                                      E
‘Cause I'da killed 'em, shit, I woulda shot Kim and him both
            Am
It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show

[Chorus]
               Am      E
I'm sorry, Mama
                          Am         E
I never meant to hurt you
                      F
I never meant to make you cry
          E                                    Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
  E                     Am     E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
                          Am         E
I never meant to hurt you
                      F
I never meant to make you cry
          E                                    Am            E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (uh)

[Verse 3]
                               Am                                    E
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
            Am                                                 E
Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin'
                   F                                    E
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
                  Am
Witnessin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen
                     Am                                                 E
Bitchin' that someone's always goin' through her purse and shit's missin'
                       Am                                                  E
Goin' through public housing systems victim of Münchausen's Syndrome
               F                                               E
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
                Am
'Til I grew up, now I blew up it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it?
           Am                                        E
Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, Ma?
                    Am                                  E
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Ma?
                F                                                           E
But guess what, you're gettin' older now and it's cold when you're lonely
                       Am
And Nathan's growin' up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony
                     Am                                        E
And Hailie's gettin' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful
                Am                                        E
But you'll never see her-she won't even be at your funeral (ha-ha!)
                F                                                 E
See, what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong
                       Am
Bitch, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom!
              Am                                                  E
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get?!
                  Am                                             E
You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit!
                 F                                                       E
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
                  Am
Well, guess what, I am dead-dead to you as can be!

[Chorus]
               Am      E
I'm sorry, Mama
                           Am        E
I never meant to hurt you
                      F
I never meant to make you cry
         E                                     Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
  E                     Am     E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
                           Am        E
I never meant to hurt you
                      F
I never meant to make you cry
         E                                    Am      E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet
