     Lyrics completed by svsmith@pacbell.net
                               (Steve Smith)
     
     Intro:   F#m A | A E | F#m A | A E | F#m | F#m E | F#m A | A E |
     
     Verse:
     F#m                        A                   E         F#m      A   
     E
     We got something we both know it we dont talk too much about it
     F#m                     A                  E         F#m        A   E
     Aint no real big secret all the same, somehow we get around it
     E         D            
        Listen, it don't really matter to me baby
     B
     You believe what you want to believe. You see you
     
     
     Chorus:
     F#m           A              E      F#m                      A   E
     don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee)
     
     (Repeat the above measures..)
     
     Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some.
     Tell me why you wanna lay there, revel in your abandon.
     
     Honey, it don't make no difference to me.
     Baby, everybody's had to fight to be free.
     You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.
     No baby, you don't have to live like a refugee.
     
     E
     Baby we aint the first 
     A
     I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
     D 
     Right now it seems real to you, but it's
     E
     One of those things you gotta feel to be true
     
     
     Solo:  F#m | F#m E | F#m A |F#m E | F#m A | A E |F#m A | A E |
     
     Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some.
     Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped, tied-up, taken away, and held for
     ransom.
     
     Honey, it don't really matter to me.
     Baby, everybody's had to fight to be free.
     You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.
     No, you don't have to live like a refugee.
     Baby, you don't have to live like a refugee.
