Another secret for ya
[Verse]
          Em
I've been told if you want to make it in this game
You got to have the luck
                    C
You got to have the look
   D        Em
To make what I quite like to make it through the night
                                      C
My heart beats slow fast, I dont feel right
                   D            Em
With a sleight of hand I might die
What about you over there?
Don't you think I care?
                C      D              Em
Well I know you know I know you know I know
And to the man who would be king
                 C        D
I would say only one thing
Em
And to the man who would be king
                C        D
I will say only one thing
[Chorus]
Em                      C           D
la la la-la-la-laa la la la-la-la-laa     (2x)

I lived my dreams today
            C
And I have lived it yesterday
              D
And I'll have lived it tomorrow
          Em
No don't look at me that way
Well I hear the words you say...
       C
But my heart has gone astray
           D
I watched friendship slip away
        Em
But it wasn't s'posed to be that way
                           C
I lived my dreams today I lived it yesterday
            D
And I'll be living yours tomorrow
Em
Anything else to say?
                          C
I lived my dream today I lived it yesterday
             D
And I'll be living yours tomorrow
          Em
So don't look at me that way!

What's about you man, Nancy my dear
What's about you man, Nancy my dear
What's about you man, Nancy my dear
[Verse]
                                  C
What will you do when she comes here?
          D
Oh she'll kill me
Em
Oh, I don't wanna kill me
And to the man who would be king
                 C        D
I would say only one thing
Em
And to the man who would be king
                 C        D
I would say only one thing
Em                    C            D

Em         D             Em            D
Perish the day when they heed what you say
They'll take you away if they don't like what you say
They don't like what you say
So come what may but I'll never stay
I'll never stay
