G
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
C
starin' at a man,  Looking down a line
E
what's he say? 'Not my style'
C
Just a stylized version of an obsolete file
G
I don't want to spend the rest of my time
C
lookin' for the words I'm never going to find
E
You read them in a book and apply them to your life
C
but how can I be as pretty as she writes?

0:27 - 0:39
D      C
I know I'm all right. Because
E                C             E            D
the needle can't burn what the needle can't find

0:40 - 1:04
G
She don't want to spend the rest of her heart
C
waste it on a job, and never get a start
E
Part of her says she should be herself
C
and part of her says she should be with someone else
G
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
C
looking for a girl I'm never gonna find.
E
Starin' back at me when I come home at night
C
but how can she be as pretty as I write?

1:05 - 1:16
D      C
I know I'm all right. Because
E                C             E            D
the needle can't burn what the needle can't find

D                                    C
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
E            C     E              D
starin' at a man,  Looking down a line
D                           C
It will be hard, but I know I'm all right,
E                        C
because the needle can't burn
         E            C
what the needle can't find
        E           C             E
And the money won't save what the money
      C
can't buy
E                 C
And part of me is safe
    E             C     D
And part of me is lies
           G
So be mine tonight.
