Intro: F F9 F (x2)
F F9 FNever owned a brand new car never worked in a white collar
CmNever held a woman longer than I held one single dollar
BmNever went out chasin' rainbows cause there can't be that much to it
B Bsus4 BEven if I found my pot of gold I'd probably piss right through it
F F9 F (F-B-Cm)I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life
Cm (Cm-B-F)Even if I did it cost too much to ever pay the price
F (F-F/Gm-Bm)I don't dance out on the dark side ain't no secrets I can tell
Bm Bsus4 FSo you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself
Chorus:
F B FI'm livin' my li--fe under my terms
F B CmI'm callin' the shots as far as I can see
F B F F/Gm FI don't owe nobody nothin' I don't answer to a soul
F/Gm Bm B FMight not work for you, but it works for me
F F9 F (x2)
F F9 FI've been bent and bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice
CmI brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised
BmMy pride's too hard to swallow so I've chewed a lot of it
B Bsus4 BMild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get
F F9 F (F-B-Cm)I live out on the backroads where I walk my country mile
Cm (Cm-B-F)And if it's so good in the city why don't anybody smile
F (F-F/Gm-Bm)The traffic's always heavy and the air ain't fit to breathe
Bm Bsus4 FI ain't saying that it's wrong for you it just don't make sense to me
