[Ab]
I'm young and I'm strong.
I got [Eb] this god [Db] forsaken world behind [Ab] my balls.
I've got one [Eb] [Db] way to [Ab] get to freedom.
One that [Eb] I'm gonna take [Ab] the bait.
I was a soldier, [Db] age [Ab] 21.
In [Eb] a war [Db] I should've been [Ab] fighting for.
And yet [Eb] I turned [Db] from a [Ab] boy to a man.
Now I'm devoid of [Eb] essence.
[Ab] My [Db] whole life [Ab] I could [Eb] not arrange.
[Fm] My weird [Db]
[Ab] ways I could not [Eb] change.
[Fm] Don't try to [Db] turn [Eb] out to [Ab] understand.
This is the ballet [Eb] of a [Ab] lonely man.
[Db] All I want is a [Ab] photograph [Eb] of a family [Db] that [Ab]
[Eb] once I [Fm] had.
Love has [Ab] slipped away from me.
I've searched a lifetime [Eb] for [Ab] nothing.
I feel I spent a little bit of my life.
Just one [Eb] more drink and [Db] I swear [Ab] to God.
I've got [Eb] my st.
[Db] Anthony and [Ab] my whiskey.
Yes I'm a better [Eb] looking [Ab] boy than boys.
[Db] My whole [Ab] life I could [Eb] not [Fm] arrange.
My [Db] weird [Ab] ways I could [Eb] not change.
[Fm] Don't try [Db] to turn [Eb] out to [Ab] understand.
This is the ballet [Eb] of a [Ab] lonely man.
Hit it boys!
