Verse 1

C                    F              C
I been wired since I can't remember when
F                    C                  F          G7
You seen me out most every night with a dissipated grin
       C           F                  C
All my life I been liabled looped and loud
F               G7              C
Now I think I'm finally wearing down

Verse 2

      F              C          G7               C
I may rock and I may roll I may sleep out in the cold
      F             C             G7
I can still stay up six days in a row
      F                 C     Am        C            F
But I know the things I do compare with the things I did
       C         F     C             G7                   C
If you think I'm crazy now should've seen me when I was a kid

Verse 3

                   F                     C
I been wild I been wasted stoned and stooped
F                     C                  F                G7
Stayed out nights and started fights and wore out two bar stools
          C               F                 C
All these years it's been bedrooms bars and beers
    F              G7              C
But now the end is finally drawing near

Verse 2

      F              C          G7               C
I may rock and I may roll I may sleep out in the cold
      F             C             G7
I can still stay up six days in a row
      F                 C     Am        C            F
But I know the things I do compare with the things I did
       C         F     C             G7                   C
If you think I'm crazy now should've seen me when I was a kid
