VERSE
D Em G
They're trying hard to put me in my place
Bm A G
And that is why I gotta keep running
D Em G
The future's mine and it's no disgrace
Bm A G
Cos in the end the past means nothing
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You don't like it so why don't you admit it
BRIDGE
A Em
D'you feel a little down today?
G D
Bet you ain't got much to say?
A Em
You're gonna miss me when I'm not there
G-G* G-G* G-G*....(listen to song and you'll
understand)
And you know I don't care, you know I don't care
CHORUS
D A G-G* ....
As we beg and steal and borrow
D A
Life is hit and miss and this
Em G
I hope, I think, I know
D A
And if I ever hear the names you call
Em G F#m
If I stumble catch me when I fall
A
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
