Verse 1
D 
Hey baby
Hey baby
Maybe I was born sick
Em 
In a castle on top of the world
D 
Maybe the whole gang is better off

Makin' money out fightin' a war

Terminal motion
Em 
Keeps spinnin' me around

G 
Temporary devotion
D 
With a picket fence and
a rowdy crowd
Em 

Verse 2
G 
Well I was sure that everything
D 
Em

was goin' fine

Until you took the shot and

killed me with your mind

I'm a man and I wanna be honest
D 
Em 
I'm better than I used to be
