I WANNA LIVE


[ E G C D ] x4


E G C D
I've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself
I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool


C
I give what I've got to give
G D
I give what I need to live


I give what I've got to give...


E G C D
I wanna live
I want to live my life


I wanna live...

As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

I give what I've got to give...

I give what I've got to give...

I wanna live...

I wanna live...

I wanna live...

Can't you see this cross isn't mine
Judas must die for what he has done
Satan's watching With his gun

It's not me...

Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Say your prayers-it's your only hope
Twelve apostles can't help you now
I'll be back to stake my ground

I'm not Jesus...
