I Don't Want to Be Me

[Intro: ] Am ''Am/B C ' C/G ' repeat 3 times F''' '''' G A Bm D Got a grand house out in the country. Bm D Marble pillars holding the door. Em G D A Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before. Bm D Got a Roller out in the garage. Bm D But the wheels are stuck to the floor. Em G D A Got no reason to go anywhere -- no friends call anymore. Bm D Bm D I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me, G Em G A I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me. Bm D Had me playing down at the palace. Bm D I was declared the belle of the ball. Em G Made the boys take my goods and chattels away -- D A now I'm staring at an empty hall. Bm D Bm D I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me, G Em G A I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me. Am C Am Pardon me -- I'm on my way. Am C Am Pardon me but I'm going. Am C Am F G Am Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing. Am C Am I'm going to ride the ragged road Am C Am diamond spurs jangling into the sunset. Am C Am F G Am No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet. Bm D Now there's nothing left in the cupboard Bm D and three bears' been eating my soup. Em G D A My life is one big critical mess if you take a look. Bm D And the butler's off in Ibiza -- Bm D on expense account gone berserk. Em G D A But I can't check out of this crazy world without being a jerk. Bm D Bm D I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me, G Em G A I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me. Am C Am Pardon me -- I'm on my way. Am C Am Pardon me but I'm going. Am C Am F G Am Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing. Am C Am I'm going to ride the ragged road Am C Am diamond spurs jangling into the sunset. Am C Am F G Am No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet. F G D Well maybe I'm not done yet.
