Dm-Dm/C#-Dm/C-Dm/B  
Here I am, I'm so free,
 C-  C/B-          Am  C7  
But old independent me
                   F              G  C-C/B-Am  
I'm a man of means, a man of property
 Dm- Dm/ C#-  Dm/C-         Dm/B  
For every race, that I run
 C-  C/B-                Am  C7  
Is one more that must be won
                         F                G   C- C-E7-Am  
And what's more I know, I've only just begun
Refrain:
A7Oh but honestly sometimes I wonderDm  
                      G7      C  C/B-Am  
What this game I play is about
A7When I come home at night DmI discover
                       G7      C  C/B-Am  
Nothing's change since I went out
A7Guess I must be a fool or Dma dreamer
                   G7        C  C/B-Am  
Or what other way could it be
All the loverA7s I've known gDmave me more 
G7Than they got from meC  
Repeat intro:
II
I should have changed, but it's hard
Something keeps me on my guard
I've never been prepared
To hold the losing card, no, never
But before, it's too late
I've got to come to terms with fate
The love and life I've known
I'm not inclined to wait
