A
I got more than I asked for
There isn't nothing I need
I took all till I had more
I'm always taking the lead
D
Old man shaking dice down on the street
Try'n to make a living somehow
    A
But I'm really sure about
getting things sorted out
And I'm getting ready right now

G
You can't hold me
F  Em   D    C  A
I have told you

Chorus:
A
Might just take your life
Might just take your life

I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same
It's all I've ever had
I've got something that you can't get
But one thing you can see
Getting there isn't easy
But it sure was hard for me

You can't hold me
I have told you

Chorus

B
Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind
They never used to make a pass
The things that crossed their minds
E
Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend
         B
They're riding on my back
When is it going to end?

You can't hold me
I have told you

Chorus:
B
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Might just take your life

Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for
