[Verse]
F#m F E A
the day I came it rained champagne
F#m F E A
the days the change, you’re not so strange
F#m F E A
I am, and I can, even though some nights I’m just another drunken man
F#m E
got to go, can’t really stay, I want to take a chance and dance,
A E
I wanna go all the way
A
taking my time with my women and my wine
D
I haven’t got a home, but I don’t need a shrine
D A E
sometimes the lines take a week or two
D A E
breaking my pen over someone like you
[Chorus]
A D E7
cause you’ll say something simple that touches me inside
A D E7
that shows I’ve been gone, I’ll be back in a while
A D E7
cause I’ve been, and I’ve seen, and you’re losing your style
D A D A
and you simply can’t see, why I’d rather be me
[Verse]
F#m F
talk of deals, not what you feel,
E A
it's not what you want, it's not even real
F#m F E
no pain, now there's no gain, I hope you realise that you can't
A
afford to stay the same
F#m F
you're alright, there's no real bite
E A
'cause you've gotten what you want now there's no real need to fight
F#m F E
please don't stay in vain, 'cause I could be right there if only you
A E
could feel the same
A
sat on the throne of your safe little life
D
Two dogs and a cat, and a safe little wife
D A E
Sometimes with wine, just a time or two
D A E
You'll look at me and I'll look at you
[Chorus]
A D E7
cause you’ll say something simple that touches me inside
A D E7
that shows you're not gone, you're just lost for a while
A D E7
maybe trapped in a web of your chosen lifestyle
D A
and you simply can’t see, why I’d
D A
rather be me
