Intro: D  D9  D  (x2)

      D                           D9                 D
Never owned a brand new car never worked in a white collar
      Bm
Never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar
      Em
Never went out chasin' rainbows cause there can't be that much to it
     A             Asus             A
Even if I found my pot of gold I'd probably piss right through it
           D          D9               D             (D-A-Bm)
I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life
     Bm                                           (Bm-A-G)
Even if I did it cost too much to ever pay the price
         G                                                 (G-D/F#-Em)
I don't dance out on the dark side ain't no secrets I can tell
   Em                                 Asus                       D
So you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself


Chorus:
               G  A        D
I'm livin' my li--fe under my terms
                 G        A           Bm
I'm callin' the shots as far as I can see
         G          A               D    D/F#   G
I don't owe nobody nothin' I don't answer to a soul
D/F#       Em            A          D
Might not work for you,     but it works for me

D  D9  D (x2)

          D                                     D9             D
I've been bent and bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice
           Bm
I brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised
    Em
My pride's too hard to swallow so I've chewed a lot of it
      A                Asus              A
Mild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get
   D               D9                D                 (D-A-Bm)
I live out on the backroads where I walk my country mile
            Bm                                       (Bm-A-G)
And if it's so good in the city why don't anybody smile
      G                                                  (G-D/F#-Em)
The traffic's always heavy and the air ain't fit to breathe
  Em                                   Asus                        D
I ain't saying that it's wrong for you it just don't make sense to me
