B F# I woke up in Montecito B F# B I was thinkin' about my life E B And the questions made more questions F# Starin' out into the night B F# B Yes, I've worn the golden g-string F# B Put my hand into hellfire E B F# I did it all to make you love me and to feel alive Chorus: E B Oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in E B F# The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin E B G#m You dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place? C#7 I should walk away F# Oh, I should walk away B But I think I'll stay There are layers to this body Primal sex and primal shame They told me I should cover it So I went the other way I was tryin' to own my power Still I'm tryin' to work it out And at least it gives the paper somethin' they can write about Chorus: And oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
