VERSE 

   A                          G            A 
I built my own chains in the land of the free 
                             B          E 
A slave to a job that meant nothing to me 
             A                     G         A 
With three shiny new cars and a split level home 
                           G       A 
To furnish the tomb I was dying to own 
  
     D 
Then one day I wakened with fear in my eye 
  A                                   E 
Aware of a world that was passing me by 
        A                      G          A 
And I knew that my savings of silver and gold 
                                G        A 
Would mean not a thing when my body was cold 

A D A Because life is a song for the dying to sing B E It's got to have feeling to mean anything A D A And a man can get by without silver or gold G A With bread for the body and song for the soul
INTERLUDE A G x3 VERSE A G A I'm living my life by the lessons I've learned B E And not looking back at the bridges I've burned A G A 'Cause the time that we travel from cradle to grave G A Was meant to be spent and not meant to be saved D And I know there are some who will say I'm a fool A E But I don't give a damn for the people that do A G A 'Cause if down in a dungeon is where they belong G A Well, that's their misfortune and none of my own
A D A Because life is a song for the dying to sing B E It's got to have feeling to mean anything A D A And a man can get by without silver or gold G A With bread for the body and song for the soul
OUTRO A G x7 A
