Got a grand house out in the country.

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.

I was declared the belle of the ball.

Made the boys take my goods and chattels away --

Pardon me but I'm going.

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

diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.

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

Now there's nothing left in the cupboard

and three bears' been eating my soup.
Em G D A
My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.

And the butler's off in Ibiza --

on expense account gone berserk.
Em G D A
But I can't check out of this crazy world without being a jerk.
