Intro: E  B  A  E/G# F#m (2x)


verse 1: 
        E 
I'm not always nice 
not always mean 
   B 
My room has never 
been seen clean 
    A 
The way I feel is  
not always how I seem 
    E 
The thoughts that form 
inside my brain 
      B 
Don't always seem 
to entertain 
      A 
Cause when I  
tell my company 
They think there's  
something wrong with me 


Interlude: E  B  A  E/G# F#m  (2x)


Chorus: 
E 
You don't know me  
B                  A B 
like you think you do 
E               B 
You don't understand 
            A   B 
me and it's true 


verse 2: 
    E 
I'm getting older 
day by day 
B 
Ain't got time to 
            F#m  G#m A 
get to everything 
E 
Hold on tight 
enjoy the ride 
B 
Life is short so  
            F#m G#m A 
live it wisely 


verse 3: 
        E 
I'm not always sick 
but often tired 
B 
Sometimes I'm having 
fun or wired 
  A 
I don't have someone 
to call my own 
E 
I'm not full of 
all the answers 
  B 
I guess that I'm 
an o.k. dancer 
F#m 
I just want to 
be left alone

    E 
I'm getting older 
day by day 
B 
Ain't got time to 
            F#m  G#m A 
get to everything 
E 
Hold on tight 
enjoy the ride 
B 
Life is short so  
            F#m G#m A 
live it wisely 
live it wisely
