pre>intro: g / c / d / c / g / c
D g d
My life was once a joy to me,
G / c / g
Never knowing, i was growing, everyday.
D g d
My life was once a toy to me,
Em
And i wound it and i found it ran away.
Am
So i raced through the night
G
With a face at my feet, like a god i would write,
F
All the melodies were sweet, and the women were white.
E d
It was easy to survive, my life was so alive.
My life was once a flag to me
And i waved it and behaved like i was told.
My life was once a drag to me
And i loudly, and i proudly, lost control
I was drawn by a dream
I was loved by a lie, every serf on the scene
Begged me to buy.
But i slipped through the scheme
So lucky to fail
My life was not for sale.
My life is now a myth to me
Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn.
My life is now a death to me
So i'll mold it and i'll hold it till i'm born
So i turned to the land
Where i'm so out of place
Throw a curse on the plan
In return for the grace
To know where i stand
Take everything i own
Take your tap from my phone
And leave my life alone
My life alone.
