[D#] [E] Never in my life, [A] mouth of other people's eyes, [C#m] [F#m] [A]
[E] guess I've always been the one [A] they said was
[B] too tall, too late, too early.
[G#m] [A] Yes, [E] he's the one.
[F#] He ought to be in the circuit.
[B] He's having too [A] much [B] fun.

The devil [B] said I couldn't do it.
But I tried my [A] best.
[B] I [A] was contrary to ordinary.
[E] Even as a child, [F#] it seemed like I stayed out too late.
Those [B] old full moons still drive me [D#] [A] wild.

[A] but spell on my state.
[B] Don't send the preacher down to [A] tighten [E] up the band.
[F#] You tell them how I like to live my life.
[B] How I love to beg and try to let things [A] [B] pass.
[A] I'm contrary to ordinary.
[E] Even as a [C#m] child, [G#m]
[F#] those fast rates made me wonder.
[B] Old full moons drove me [F#m] wild.
[B]
[A] And stories do come true.
If you [E] just live life in episodes.
[A] There's one [E] eye on [F#m] a good lady and [A] [B] [F#m] one eye [E] on the road.
