Sometimes circumstances make the [G] man turn out to be the way [D] he is
[G]
[D] Maybe his [A] is not the life [Bm] he chose, but it's the only one [Em] he gets
[A]
So [D] when trouble comes across the path [G] he travels, live the same way that you [D] please
[A] [Bm]
And [G] the only thing in life that's really [A] cherished is the fact that [D] he is free
[G] Freedom is the only thing that matters to a man who [D] won't be tired
[G] For him a place to settle down would only be a place for [A] him to die
[G] Most will never understand why anyone would ever live [D] like [A] this
[Bm] But [G] you'd be better off to try and [A] rope the wind than change the [D] way he is
[G]
[D] So it's a waste of time to [G] try and make him live the way you think [D] he should
[G]

[A]
[D] And what his life stands for [G] is the only reason he cares [D] to exist
[Bm]
And [G] you'd be better off to try and [A] rope the wind than change the [D] way he is
