play so here is my best attempt at transcribing it. Enjoy!

G I was born my papa's son Cadd9 Dm-sus4 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2 A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun G Now some of you would live through me Cadd9 Dm-sus4 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2 Lock me up and throw away the key G Or just find a place to hide away Cadd9 Dm-sus4 (G Dm-sus4 Cadd9)x2 Hope that I'll just go away

VERSE 2:
I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines and
Conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3:
I got every thing you wont or need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Be careful what you wish for friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again
CHORUS

(G Dm-sus4 Cadd9) x2 I feel alright G Dm-sus4 Cadd9 (G) I feel alright
