Tom : G
G D Em
If I leave here tomorrow
F C D
Would you still remember me?
G D Em
For I must be travelling on now
F C D
Cos there's too many places I must see
G D Em
If I stay here with you girl
F C D
Things just couldn't be the same
G D Em
Cos I'm as free as a bird now
F C D
And this bird you cannot change
F C D
And this bird you cannot change
F C D
And this bird you cannot change
F C D
Lord knows I can't change
[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
G C
We drove all night to Billings, Montana
D G D
Flew into Utah, slept there all day
G C
And I can’t remember stopping in Denver
D G
Yeah, I live my illusion that somebody needs me to play
[Chorus]
G C
And sometimes I’m drunk and sometimes I’m stoned
D G
And yes I get tired of being alone
G C
And I miss my son and I miss my wife
D G
But the devil named music is taking my life
[Próxima Parte]
F G F G
[Verse 2]
G C
Now I sold my soul a long time ago
D G D
I put it in a six string and a sad melody
G C
I’m sometimes a winner, most times a loser
D G
If the crowd gets into it, it’ll all feel the same way to me
[Chorus]
G C
And sometimes I’m drunk and sometimes I’m stoned
D G
And yes I get tired of being alone
G C
And I miss my daughter and I miss my wife
D G
But the devil named music is taking my life
[Solo]
F G F G
[Chorus]
