        C                            F   
We left home when we was barely past eleventeen 

     C                                      G 
Been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain

     C                                           F
I've loved you half of your life and I’ll keep on lovin’ you

    C                  G                C 
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
We spend a lot of time out on the highway Comin’ from some town we played along the way ss After 30 years of knowing me the way you do || You know I can’t change and live the way you want me to-i Chorus: But babe,
     G                            C 
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair 

    G                                    C
You look like you ought to be somebody's wife somewhere

          C                                           F
You ain't never going to be no Bobby McGee but you’re tryin’ to 

    C                  G                C
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
Every time you leave the stage I know you've had your fill And I wonder why you grew up and why I never will Hey, I'm 41 today still going on 22 But I can't change and live the way you want me to Chorus I can't change and live the way you want me to
