[E]
Never owned a brand new car, I never worked in a white collar.
[C#m] I never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar.
[F#m] Never went out chasing rainbows, cause there can't be that much to it.
[C#] Even if I found my pot of gold, I'd probably tip right through [B] it.
[E] I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life.
[C#m] Even if I did, it'd cost too much to ever pay the price.
[A] I don't dance out on the dark side, ain't no secret I can [E] tell.
[F#m] So you don't have to say a prayer [B] for me, I just [E] said one for myself.
I'm living [A] my [B] life [E] under my term.
I'm [A] calling the shots [B] as far as I [C#m] can see.
[A] I don't owe [B] nobody nothing, [E] that old answer to [A] me [E] so might [F#m] not work for you.
[Em] [B]
But [E] it works for me.
I'm inventing, bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice.
[C#m] I brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised.
[F#m] My pride's too hard to swallow so I'll chewed a lot of it.
[B] Mild-mannered and soft-hearted, hard to hit it as [E] you get.
I live out on the back roads where I walk my country mile.
[C#m] And if it's so good in the city, why don't anybody smile?
[A] Ah, the traffic's always heavy and that air ain't fit to [E] breathe.
[F#m] I ain't saying that it's [E] wrong for you, it just don't make sense to me.
I'm living [A] my [B] life [E] under my terms.
I'm [A] calling the shots [B] as far as I [C#m] can see.
[A] I don't owe [B] nobody nothing, [E] that old answer [A] to me [E] so might [F#m] not work for you.
It might not work for [C#] you.
[B]
[E] But it works for me.
