[Intro]
E7     A7 x 12
E7     A7     E7     A7

[Verse 1]
    E7     A7     E7     A7
I'm tired of being a fool
    E7     A7     E7     A7
And my mind going from hot to cool
    B7#9     B7#9     B7#9     B7#9
And trying to conform to others ideas
    E7     A7     E7     A7
And someone else's rules

[Instrumental]
E7     A7     E7     A7

[Verse 2]
    E7     A7     E7     A7
The life I'm living ain't mine
    E7     A7     E7     A7
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
    B7#9     B7#9     B7#9     B7#9
I didn't make the world I'm living in
    E7     A7     E7     A7
And I ain't gonna toe the line

[Instrumental]
E7     A7     E7     A7    E5 

[Chorus]
 N.C.                                                   G*     E5 (Stop)
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
 N.C.                                                   G*     E5 (Stop)
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
 N.C.                                                   G*     E5 (Stop)
You know some people are different, now ain't that a crying shame
 N.C.                           D (Bass Only)
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

[Verse 3]
    E7     A7     E7     A7
And I'm not going to try to please
    E7     A7     E7     A7
Eyes that just don't see
    B7#9     B7#9     B7#9     B7#9
If I get myself together
    E7     A7     E7     A7
You'll have the blues not me

[Solo]  
E7(2 beats)     A7(2 beats) x 8
E7     A7 x 8 then E5(Stop)

[Chorus]
 N.C.                                                   G*     E5 (Stop)
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
 N.C.                                                   G*     E5 (Stop)
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
 N.C.                                                   G*     E5 (Stop)
You know some people are different, now ain't that a crying shame
 N.C.                           D (Bass Only)
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

[Verse 4]
    E7     A7     E7     A7
And I'm not going to try to please
    E7     A7     E7     A7
Eyes that just don't see
    B7#9     B7#9     B7#9     B7#9
If I get myself together
    E7     A7     E7     A7
You'll have the blues not me
    E7     A7     E7     A7
You'll have the blues not me   (Fade out with lead guitar)
