Intro: D5 - D5 - D5  - D5 - C5  - C5 - A5

D5 - D5 - D5 - D5
Here I am , I'm so free,
C5 - C5 - A5         C5
But old independent me
F5                   G5            C5 - C5 - A5
I'm a man of means, a man of property
D5 - D5 - D5 - D5        
For every race, that I run
C5 - C5 - A5               C5
Is one more that must be won
F5                         G5              C5 - C5 - E5 - A5
And what's more I know, I've only just begun


Refrain:
A5                                D5
Oh but honestly sometimes I wonder
G5                      C5    C5 - A5
What this game I play is about
A5                       D5
When I come home at night I discover
G5                       C5    C5 - A5
Nothing's change since I went out
A5                       D5
Guess I must be a fool or a dreamer
G5                   C5      C5 - A5
Or what other way could it be
             A5            D5                 
All the lovers I've known gave me more 
G5                       C5
Than they got from me

Repeat intro:

II

I should have changed, but it's hard
Something keeps me on my guard
I've never been prepared
To hold the losing card, no, never
But before, it's too late
I've got to come to terms with fate
The love and life I've known
I'm not inclined to wait
