This is a great song that sounds even better when played with an acoustic guitar.
Intro:
D Em G5 BM A G5
Verse 1:
D Em G5
They’re trying hard to put me in my place
Bm A G5
And that is why I gotta keep running.
D Em G5
The future’s mine and it’s no disgrace,
Bm A G5
‘cos in the end, the past means nothing.
Verse 2:
D Em G5
You tell me I’m free then you tie me down,
Bm A G5
And from my chains I think it’s a pity.
D Em G5
What did it cost you to wear my crown,
Bm A G5
You don’t like it, so why don’t you admit it.
Bridge:
Asus2 Em
I feel a little down today?
G5 D
And I ain’t got much to say?
Asus2 Em
You’re gonna miss me when I’m not there,
G5
And you know I don’t care, You know I don’t care.
Chorus:
D A G5
As we beg and steal and borrow,
D A
Life is hit and miss, and this
E G5
I hope I think I know.
D A
If I ever hear the names you call
Em G5 F#m7/4
And if I stumble catch me when I fall,
Asus2 D Em G5
‘cos baby after all, You’ll never forget my name
Bm A G5 D
You’ll never forget my name.
Link:
(D) Em G5 Bm A G5
Verse 3:

You tried hard to me in my place,

The future’s mine and it’s your disgrace,

‘cos in the end your life means nothing.
