G
All of my love and
F
Most of my fears
Ab
Been coming on strong
G
For most of my years
F                      Ab
Add up and end up in a song

G                        F
Cellophane tweeds and revenue streams
Ab                                 G
Are blocking my shots and killin' my dreams
F                  Ab
That showed me how to be the cause

G      F     Ab   G       F      Ab
Ooh ahh, yella, ooh ahh, hey ah what now?

RIFF
It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time, for me, I see
She wants to belong and, I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee
Ab

G    F    Ab    G    F     Ab
Ooh ahh, yella, ooh ahh, yeah

G                      F
All of my friends and enemies
        Ab
They were part of this dance
                 G
That put me right here we go
F               Ab
So glad I got this chance
G
Better known plans
      F
And lesser known schemes
Ab                             G
Were all about love and less about me
        F               Ab
I'd have to say she wore the pants
Ab
That's oh!

RIFF
It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time for me, Uh-hu
She wants to belong and, I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

The funky bridge: (listen to the song and you sure figured out)

RIFF
It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time, for me, lets see
She wants to belong and, I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

RIFF
It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's me
It's a long time, for me, uh-uh
She wants to be rich and, I want to be free
Keep your plans elastic 'cause there ain't no, guarantee

End with an Ab
