[G] Sympathy [Gm] just doesn't mean [Dm] that much [G] to me.
[Dm] Compassion's not [A] the fashion [D] in my mind.
[Dm] And if you're looking [Gm] for a [G] shoulder to [Dm] cry on,
don't turn your [G] head my way,
[Dm] cause I'd rather [A] have my music [D] any day.

[Gm] [Dm] [A] [Dm]
You and [G] I are masters [D] of our destiny.
[G] [A] We look for consolation [D] all the time,
until we find out [G] things are not what [D] they were meant to be.
Oh [G] no!
[Dm] And if it doesn't [A] suit our mood, we'll call it [Dm] crime.
[G] Dedication's [D] not an obligation,
[A] or a figment of someone's [D]
imagination.
[Gm] It's the only way to say,
[D] to live from day to day,
[A] to make each passing breath,
a smile's sensation.

We've got the only common road to truth.
