B        F#
Then I became a singer
   C#m       E
It's strange to think about

I wanted to be heard, when you get down to it

Watching the wires

Setting fires

I hate to run, but
       E
I'm a gun for hire

Gimme one good reason

I had to learn it the hard way

I drew a card that was full of swords
    F#        E
I never said I loved the light
B         F#
So I did run like a river
C#m          E
Either that or blow my mind

Momma was afraid I would never grow old
F#m         E
I was afraid that I might

F#

           E
I had to learn it the hard way

Maybe in the next lifetime

Maybe in the next frame

Maybe in the next valley

Somebody knows me
