Verse 1
My self importance (G major) is a god forsaken bore
I aim for heaven but I wake
up on the floor
(G minor) I'd take up with rattlesnakes (G major)
to get my point across (G minor)
I'd argue with a parking (G major) brake to
show em who's the boss (E minor) (G major) (D major)
It's my intention to inspire (G major)
(G minor) In stead (G major) I'm (G minor) preachin (G major) to (D minor) (G major) the choir

I had some money but I
blew it living high (G minor)
My wine and women were (G major)
the best that you could buy
I tried to prove myself a man
of certain taste (G minor)

now is written on my face (D major)

Verse 3
I'm born a lion (G minor) (G major) but I don't
