Bm D

Got a grand house out in the country.

Bm D

Marble pillars holding the door.

Em G D A

Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before.

Bm D

Got a Roller out in the garage.

Bm D

But the wheels are stuck to the floor.

Em G D A

Got no reason to go anywhere -- no friends call anymore.

Bm D Bm D

I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me,

G Em G A

I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.

Bm D

Had me playing down at the palace.

Bm D

I was declared the belle of the ball.

Em G

Made the boys take my goods and chattels away --

D A

now I'm staring at an empty hall.

Bm D Bm D

I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me,

G Em G A

I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.

Am C Am

Pardon me -- I'm on my way.

Am C Am

Pardon me but I'm going.

Am C Am F G Am

Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.

Am C Am

I'm going to ride the ragged road

Am C Am

diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.

Am C Am F G Am

No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet.

Bm D

Now there's nothing left in the cupboard

Bm D

and three bears' been eating my soup.

Em G D A

My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.

Bm D

And the butler's off in Ibiza --

Bm D

on expense account gone berserk.

Em G D A

But I can't check out of this crazy world without being a jerk.

Bm D Bm D

I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me,

G Em G A

I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.

Am C Am

Pardon me -- I'm on my way.

Am C Am

Pardon me but I'm going.

Am C Am F G Am

Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.

Am C Am

I'm going to ride the ragged road

Am C Am

diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.

Am C Am F G Am

No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet.

F G D

Well maybe I'm not done yet.
