Intro:  D, Am, G, C, G   2 x


1.)
My family they were good to me, but I just didn't care
     D
you should have seen the way, I made my mother cry,
						Am
but I burned my bridges soon, by spitting out my silver spoon,  
       G			   C
to wander off beneath that open sky.
    Am				 D

Tell me why, why can't I be satisfied,

tell me why, why can't I be satisfied.
	 D	       Am	  G, C, G


2.)
From town to town I gambled, with a fortune at my back
      D
and the more I played, the more she used to smile,
					     Am
but that easy life it came, from my money and my new found fame
	  G			      C
It could only keep me happy for a while.
    Am				    D

3.)
There's silver on my table now, and gold upon my teeth
	 D
and a crowd of friends with nowhere else to stay
					     Am
I have found out my reward, that my destiny is to be bored
	 G			      C
and discontented till my dying day.
     Am			        D
