Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Never owned a brand new car never worked in a white collar

 Never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar

 Never went out chasin' rainbows cause there can't be that much to it

 Even if I found my pot of gold I'd probably piss right through it

(--)

I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life

(--)

Even if I did it cost too much to ever pay the price

(--)

I don't dance out on the dark side ain't no secrets I can tell

 So you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself

Chorus

 I'm livin' my li--fe under my terms

 I'm callin' the shots as far as I can see

 I don't owe nobody nothin' I don't answer to a soul

Might not work for you, but it works for me

 I've been bent and bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice

 I brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised

 My pride's too hard to swallow so I've chewed a lot of it

 Mild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get

(--)

I live out on the backroads where I walk my country mile

(--)

And if it's so good in the city why don't anybody smile

(--)

The traffic's always heavy and the air ain't fit to breathe

 I ain't saying that it's wrong for you it just don't make sense to me
