[Ab]
[Gm] Well, I never live a life [Ab] through other people's eyes
[Eb] Guess I've always [Gm] been riding [Ab] through storms twice my size
[Ab] [Eb] guess I always will
sunset, [Bb] while I'm signing some hits
[Ab] but I wasn't made, gypsy circus

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ Well, I never live a life _ [Ab] through other people's eyes _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ Guess I've always [Gm] been riding [Ab] through storms twice my _ size
[Bb] _ _ I've always been a drifter, _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] guess I always will
[F] _ I'll be running toward a sunset, _ [Bb] while I'm signing some _ hits
[Eb] _ But I wasn't [Gm] made, _ _ [Ab] but I wasn't made, gypsy circus
_ _ [Eb] _ But finding every piece [Ab] of this puzzle _ has a purpose
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ Drifting and dreaming, _ _ [Ab] _ _ that must [Eb] be my _ [F] fate
To be grinning down my devil's law, _ [Bb] _ raising with aces and _ eights
[Ab] And I was contrary to ordinary, _ [Eb] _ _ even as a child
_ [F] _ Fast rates made me wonder, _ [Bb] _ _ full moons drove me _ wild
[Ab] And stories do come true, [Eb] in your live [Gm] life, in episodes _
_ _ [Ab] One eye [Fm] on the ladies now, _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] and one [Bb] eye [Eb] still on the low _ _
So _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ when I die, sweet, I won't [Ab] put no [Cm] _ tombstone on the grave
_ [Gm] _ I [Bb] slept one night, my [Gm] friend, to [Ab] sail my ashes out over the wave
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Don't get no preaching down, _ _ [Ab] just to tighten [Eb] up the _ fans
_ [F] You just tell them all I like to live, _ [Bb] I love to sing, dance and to laugh
And [Ab] I was contrary to ordinary, [Eb] got a witness, _ [Bb] _ even as a child
_ _ [F] _ Fast rates made me wonder, _ _ [Bb] _ full moons drove me _ wild
[Ab] And stories do come true, _ _ [Bb] in your live life, [Gm] in episodes _ _
_ [Ab] One eye [Eb] [Fm] on the ladies now, _ _ _ _ [Ab] and one [Bb] eye still [Eb] on the low
_ Well, I'll sing
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ One _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Gm] eye on the ladies [Fm] now, _ _ _ and [Ab] one eye's [Bb] always on [Eb] that open road _ _ _ _
_ Thank _ you very much, what a lovely time
_ _ _ The whole [N] damn day _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
