It's My Life:The Animals.
#7 in UK and #23 in USA in !965.

INTRO: G#(x2)

#1.
       D#m
It's a hard world to get a break in...all the good things 
G#
have been taken.
    B   
But girl, there are ways, to make, certain things pay..
       C#
though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable, some day..
G#
hear what I say..

#2.
G#
I'm going to ride the serpent..no more time spent, sweatin' rent.
G#
Hear my command..I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use,
           G#
holdin' me down, stick around..
                          G#7
But baby, baby..remember, remember..

CHORUS:
G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want..
G#
it's my mind and I'll think what I want.
G#
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime..
    G#
but someday I'll treat you real fine.

G#(x2)

#3.
            D#m
There'll be women and their fortunes...who'll just want 
   G#
to mother orphans.
    B
Are you going to cry, when I'm squeezin' them dry?
G
Taking all I can get, no regrets, when I, openly lie?
G#
And live on their money..believe me, honey, that money,
G#
can you believe? I ain't no saint, no complaints.
G#
So girl cut out, any doubt.
                          G#7
But baby, baby, remember, remember..

CHORUS:
G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want..
G#
it's my mind and I'll think what I want.
G#
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime..
    G#
but someday I'll treat you real fine.

OUTRO:
G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want.
(Don't push me!)
G#
It's my mind and I'll think what I want.
(It's my life!)
G#
It's my life and I'll do what I want.
(I can do what I want!)
G#
It's my mind and I'll think what I want.
(It's my life!) (Fade.)
