F#                  C#  G#m                       D#
When I look in the mirror I can't believe what I see
F#                   C#      G#m               D#
Tell me, who's that funky dude starin' back at me?
F#              C#  G#m              D#
Broken, beaten down can't even get around
F#                 C#     G#m                 D#
without an old-man cane I fall and hit the ground
F#               C#    G#m             A#7
Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone

Excuse the bitching
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
'Cause feeling is pain
As everything I need is denied me
And everything I want is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me

Chorus:
A#7                B
I don't wanna be a old man anymore
C#                            F#                D#m
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
D#m                   G#m                 C#
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
C#               F#               D#m
It's time I got back to the good life
D#m             G#m7                  C#
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
C#               F#                     D#m
'n I don't even know how I got off the track
D#m         G#m      C#
I wanna go back, yeah!

Screw this crap, I've had it (I've had it)
I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog
So 'scuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
(Hear me?) Hear me? I want sugar in my tea

Chorus

           G#m
I wanna go back
            C#
I wanna go back
                  F#                      D#m
And I don't even know how I got off the track
                G#m
It's time I got back
                 C#
It's time I got back
                  F#                      D#m
And I don't even know how I got off the track
            G#m   C#
I wanna go back Yeah!

Chorus:
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
