F#m
I'm a man, a man of simple pleasures
I got all I need, so give me whiskey measures
With dyslexic eyes, seeing very clearly
By the way, I'm on my way

C#m            A C#m                   G
But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool
But I'm no one's fool

Chorus:
F#m     A           E                 C#m
Here I go once again, they're trying hard to pretend
F#m        A              E        C#m
There's a future in your man made rules
F#m      A                   E        C#m             F#m
I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
          A          E         C#m          F#m
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

I am told, the world is nearly ending
But when I look outside the birds are always singing
You throw sticks and bones
Remember every dog will have it's day, I'm on my way

But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool
But I'm no one's fool

Chorus:
Here I go once again trying hard to pretend
There's a future in your man made rules
I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

   A            E         C#m       F#m      A          E  C#7 F#m
Go on, let the righteous guide you home to where you belong
       A            E     C#m     F#m             A        E  C#7
I'll stay, dancin´ to my favorite tunes, that's where I belong

F#m                      A
You won't take me for a ride
E                           C#m
I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me
F#m                      A
You won't take me for a ride
E                            C#m
You never catch them and you need no money
F#m                      A     E                       C#m
You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
F#m                      A     E                      C#m
You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
