Gm
It's the same thing
                    F
It's the same thing every time
             C  A#
Your way or nothing
Gm
It's a shame that
                  F
It's a shame that all this time
                   C    A#   Gm
Things could have been much better here
                 F
Maybe something more defined
                    Gm
More than what you had in mind
                   F
More that I could have become

Chorus:
Gm
I could spend my whole life hanging
D#                  F
On your words that leave me here in doubt
Gm                         D#
But I’m so tired of being down and out
      F              Gm
I'll do this my way now
(I'll do this my way)

You know you've been so wrong
For way too long
And now it shows
It shows that all you've ever wanted
Was to be the one
To put me down for what I’ve done
And no you're not the only one
But you will never be like me

Chorus

     Gm
With all that you know,
          F
tell me who will you hurt
      Gm
And where will you go,
          F
when you get what you deserve

Chorus

I could spend my whole life hanging
On your words that leave me here in doubt
But I’m so tired of being down and out
I'll do this my way now
I'll do this my way now
I'll do this my way now
Do this my way now
