G C D C G C
[Verse 1]
D G C G D My life was once a joy to me D7 D G C G Never knowing I was growing every day D G C G D My life was once a toy to me D7 D Em And I wound it and I found it ran away Am G So I raced through the night, with a face at my feet F Like a god I would write, all the melodies were sweet, and the women were white E E7 D It was easy to survive, my life was so alive
[Verse 2]
D G C G D My life was once a flag to me D7 D G C G And I waved it and behaved like I was told D G C G D My life was once a drag to me D7 D Em And I loudly and I proudly lost control Am G I was drawn by a dream, I was loved by a lie F Every serf on the scene, begged me to buy, but I slipped through the scheme E E7 D So lucky to fail, my life was not for sale
[Verse 3]
D G C G D My life is now a myth to me D7 D G C G Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn D G C G D My life is now a death to me D7 D Em So I'll mold it and I'll hold it 'til I'm born Am G So I turned to the land, where I'm so out of place F Throw a curse on the plan, in return for the grace, to know where I stand E E7 D Take everything I own, take your tap from my phone C And leave my life alone G My life alone
