        Bm (x24432@1)                  D (xx0232@1)
Got a grand house out in the country.  
        Bm (x24432@1)                D (xx0232@1)
Marble pillars holding the door.  
Em (022000@1)           G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1)                  A (x02220@1)
Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before.  
       Bm (x24432@1)              D (xx0232@1)
Got a Roller out in the garage.  
          Bm (x24432@1)                    D (xx0232@1)
But the wheels are stuck to the floor.  
        Em (022000@1)        G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1)                 A (x02220@1)
Got no reason to go anywhere -- no friends call anymore.

I don't want to be me,  I don't want to be me,  
                     G (320003@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em             G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.  
 
         Bm (x24432@1)               D (xx0232@1)
Had me playing down at the palace.  
          Bm (x24432@1)                   D (xx0232@1)
I was declared the belle of the ball.  
          Em (022000@1)                    G (320003@1)
Made the boys take my goods and chattels away --  
          D (xx0232@1)                A (x02220@1)
now I'm staring at an empty hall.

I don't want to be me,  I don't want to be me,

I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.  
 
Am (x02210@1)             C (x32010@1)    Am (x02210@1)
Pardon me -- I'm on my way.  
Am (x02210@1)               C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1)
Pardon me but I'm going.  
Am (x02210@1)           C (x32010@1)    Am (x02210@1)       F (133211@1)                   G (320003@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am  
Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.  
Am (x02210@1)                        C (x32010@1)  Am (x02210@1)
I'm going to ride the ragged road  
Am (x02210@1)                             C (x32010@1)  Am (x02210@1)
diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.  
Am (x02210@1)                  C (x32010@1)  Am (x02210@1)       F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)  Am (x02210@1)
No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet.  
 
             Bm (x24432@1)                D (xx0232@1)
Now there's nothing left in the cupboard  
           Bm (x24432@1)                  D (xx0232@1)
and three bears' been eating my soup.  
    Em (022000@1)             G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1)    A (x02220@1)
My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.  
         Bm (x24432@1)             D (xx0232@1)
And the butler's off in Ibiza --  
      Bm (x24432@1)               D (xx0232@1)
on expense account gone berserk.  
       Em (022000@1)                     G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)             A (x02220@1)
But I can't check out of this crazy world without being a jerk.
