Intro
Background Riff
Dm              Gm
Sympathy just doesn't mean
      Dm             Gm
That much to me
    Dm
Compassion's not
     A              Dm
The fashion in my mind
               
And if you're looking for
    Gm
A shoulder to cry on
       Dm                Gm
Don't turn your head my way
            Dm
'Cause I'd rather have
    A         Dm
My music any day

Intro
Riff 1
You and I are
Masters of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Until we find out things are not
What they were meant to be, oh no
And if it doesn't suit our mood
We'll call it crime

Riff 2
 Gm                 Dm
Dedication's not an obligation
      A
Or a figment of 
            Dm
Someone's imagination
         Gm 
It's the only way they say
    Dm
To live from day to day
    A
To make each passing way
         Dm 
A small sensation

Intro
Riff 1
Solo
Riff 3
Dreams are the possession of
The simple man
Reality the fantasy of youth
But living is a problem that
Is common to us all
With love the only
Common road to truth

Riff 2
Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of
Someone's imagination
It's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way
A small sensation   x2

Solo until fade.
