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

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
