0:00 - 0:26
G5
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
C5
starin' at a man,  Looking down a line
E5
what's he say? 'Not my style'
C5
Just a stylized version of an obsolete file
G5
I don't want to spend the rest of my time
C5
lookin' for the words I'm never going to find
E5
You read them in a book and apply them to your life
C5
but how can I be as pretty as she writes?

0:27 - 0:39
D5      C5
I know I'm all right. Because
E5                C5             E5            D5
the needle can't burn what the needle can't find

0:40 - 1:04
G5
She don't want to spend the rest of her heart
C5
waste it on a job, and never get a start
E5
Part of her says she should be herself
C5
and part of her says she should be with someone else
G5
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
C5
looking for a girl I'm never gonna find.
E5
Starin' back at me when I come home at night
C5
but how can she be as pretty as I write?

1:05 - 1:16
D5      C5
I know I'm all right. Because
E5                C5             E5            D5
the needle can't burn what the needle can't find

1:17 - 1:42
* guitar solo *
G5    C5    E5    C5
G5    C5    E5    C5

1:43 - end
D5                                    C5
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
E5            C5     E5              D5
starin' at a man,  Looking down a line
D5                           C5
It will be hard, but I know I'm all right,
E5                        C5
because the needle can't burn
         E5            C5
what the needle can't find
        E5           C5             E5
And the money won't save what the money
      C5
can't buy
E5                 C5
And part of me is safe
    E5             C5     D5
And part of me is lies
           G5
So be mine tonight.
