[Intro]
E7 A7 x 12
E7 A7 E7 A7
[Verse 1]
E7 A7 E7 A7
I'm tired of being a fool
E7 A7 E7 A7
And my mind going from hot to cool
B7#9 B7#9 B7#9 B7#9
And trying to conform to others ideas
E7 A7 E7 A7
And someone else's rules
[Instrumental]
E7 A7 E7 A7
[Verse 2]
E7 A7 E7 A7
The life I'm living ain't mine
E7 A7 E7 A7
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
B7#9 B7#9 B7#9 B7#9
I didn't make the world I'm living in
E7 A7 E7 A7
And I ain't gonna toe the line
[Instrumental]
E7 A7 E7 A7 E5
[Chorus]
N.C. G* E5 (Stop)
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
N.C. G* E5 (Stop)
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
N.C. G* E5 (Stop)
You know some people are different, now ain't that a crying shame
N.C. D (Bass Only)
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
[Verse 3]
E7 A7 E7 A7
And I'm not going to try to please
E7 A7 E7 A7
Eyes that just don't see
B7#9 B7#9 B7#9 B7#9
If I get myself together
E7 A7 E7 A7
You'll have the blues not me

I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me

I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
N.C. G* E5 (Stop)
You know some people are different, now ain't that a crying shame

And I'm not going to try to please
E7 A7 E7 A7
Eyes that just don't see

If I get myself together
E7 A7 E7 A7
You'll have the blues not me
E7 A7 E7 A7
You'll have the blues not me (Fade out with lead guitar)
