~Many of the Fm's in this song can and should be played on the 8th fret
~If you wanna get fancy, the FM's sound like Fm7's with the pinky flicking the e string
Intro: G# - D# - Fm - A# - C# - D#
G# D#
Everything I am, is like nothing that I planned
Fm A#
Unconventional existence - steadily refuse assistance
C# D#
Passionate in my persistence, realize I've got all the symptoms
C Fm
Of a dreamer who's been left in vain
C# Eb
But I will not complain
G#
Because I'm living free, no conformations
D#
chasing dreams with no hesitations
Fm
I'll take the risk it's clearly labeled
A#
There's no fun in living stable
C#
one more year and i'll run the table
D#
I'm on the grind 'till I am able
C Fm
to look back in retrospect
C# Eb
with no hint of regret
Fm
I've got a pocket of ones and a bottle of jack
D#
you know I'm heading south I ain't coming back
C Fm
leave a message for me at the tone
C# D#
I'll see you when I see you if I make it home
G#-D#-Fm-A#-C#-D#
G#
Treading water is it good enough?
D#
I can barely keep my head above
Fm
a quarter century already spent
A#
in a state of self inflicted discontent
C#
but I've got no remorse I can't repent
D#
and I'll be damned if I don't circumvent
C Fm
the shadows that have been cast
C# Eb
by men who've walked this path
Fm
I've got a pocket of ones and a bottle of jack
D#
you know I'm heading south I ain't coming back
C Fm
leave a message for me at the tone
C# D#
I'll see you when I see you if I make it home
G#-D#-Fm-A#-C#-D#
