If you want
Bb C Bb C
I'll sell you a life story
Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb C
About a man who's a loggerheads with his past all the time
Bb C Bb C
He's alive
Bb C Bb C Bb
and living in purgatory
C Bb C
All he's doing is rooming in hotels
Bb C Bb C
And scooping up lots of wine

F Bb C Bb
There was once a boy of life
F Bb C Bb
Who lived upon the knife
F Bb C Bb
He took his share of everywhere
F Bb C
But he never took a wife...

Bb C Bb C
He was born
Bb C Bb C Bb
To live like a mercenary
C Bb C Bb
Well personally I think that's fine
C Bb C
If you're in the right mind
Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb
He was bur - ned by the twentieth century
C Bb C Bb
Now he's doing time in the back of his mind
C Bb
He can hear them outside

F Bb C Bb
Better run, rabbit run
F Bb C Bb
Run into the sun
F Bb C Bb
Kick your heels in the killing fields
F Bb C
Run rabbit run
Bb C Bb
You're the son of a gun

C Bb (x8)

He was born to live like a mercenary
Well personally I think that's fine
If you're in the right mind.
