C#                F#
Broke my heart on the road.
C#
Spent the weekend
F#
Sewing the pieces back on.
C#                        F#
Friends and thoughts pass me by.
B
Walking gets too boring
F#
When you learn how to fly.

C#             F#
Not the homecoming kind.
C#
Take the top off
    F#
And who knows what you might find.
C#                F#
Won’t confess all my sins.
B
You can bet I’ll try it,
    F#
But you can’t always win.

Chorus:
                  C#
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
                    F#
     Are you coming with me?
             C#
     I might steal your clothes
                           F#
     And wear them if they fit me.

                 C#
     Never made agreements,
                 F#
     Just like a gypsy.
           C#
     And I won’t back down
                           F#
     ‘Cause life’s already bit me.

                 B
     And I won’t cry,
     I’m too young to die,
                     F#
     If you’re gonna quit me.
                  C#     F#
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
                  C#     F#
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.

I can’t hide what I’ve done.
Scars remind me
Of just how far that I’ve come.
To whom it may concern:
Only run with scissors
When you want to get hurt.

Chorus:
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
     Are you coming with me?
     I might steal your clothes
     And wear them if they fit me.

     I don’t make agreements,
     Just like a gypsy.
     And I won’t back down
     ‘Cause life’s already bit me.

     And I won’t cry,
     I’m too young to die,
     If you’re gonna quit me.
                  C#
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.

          C#
   I said hey you,
                         F#
   You’re no fool if you say "no".
                         C#
   Ain’t it just the way life goes?
                         F#
   People fear what they don’t know.
                      C#          F#
   Come along for the ride. Oh, yeah.
                      C#     F#
   Come along for the ride. Uuh.

Chorus:
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
     Are you coming with me?
     I might steal your clothes
     And wear them if they fit me.

     Never made agreements,
     Just like a gypsy.
     And I won’t back down
     ‘Cause life’s already bit me.

     And I won’t cry,
     I’m too young to die,
     If you’re gonna quit me.
                  C#
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
