[Intro] D  Em  G  Bm  A  G

D                             Em     G   
They're trying hard to put me in my place
Bm               A            G
And that is why I gotta keep running
D                          Em     G
The future's mine and it's no disgrace
Bm                  A              G
Cos in the end the past means nothing

D                             Em     G  
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
Bm                 A            G
And from my chains I think it's a pity
D                         Em     G  
What did it cost you to wear my crown
Bm                    A            G
You don't like it so why don't you admit it

A                         Em
D'you feel a little down today?
          G                D
Bet you ain't got much to say?
               A                  Em
You're gonna miss me when I'm not there
                 G
And you know I don't care, you know I don't care

D      A                   G
As we beg and steal and borrow
                  D        A 
Life is hit and miss and this
    Em              G
I hope, I think, I know
                         D         A
And if I ever hear the names you call
  Em       G                   F#m
If I stumble catch me when I fall
                A                               
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name

Then return back to the

D      A                   G
As we beg and steal and borrow
                  D        A
