Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Here I am, I'm so free,

But old independent me

I'm a man of means, a man of property

For every race, that I run

Is one more that must be won

And what's more I know, I've only just begun

Refrain

Oh but honestly sometimes I wonder

What this game I play is about

When I come home at night I discover

Nothing's change since I went out

Guess I must be a fool or a dreamer

Or what other way could it be

All the lovers I've known gave me more

Than they got from me

Repeat intro:

II

I should have changed, but it's hard

Something keeps me on my guard

I've never been prepared

To hold the losing card, no, never

But before, it's too late

I've got to come to terms with fate

The love and life I've known

I'm not inclined to wait
