B F# B F#
[Verse 1]
B F#
I woke up in Montecito
B F# B
I was thinkin' about my life
E B
And the questions made more questions
F#
Starin' out into the night
B F# B
Yes, I've worn the golden g-string
F# B
Put my hand into hellfire
E B F#
I did it all to make you love me and to
feel alive
[Chorus]
E
Oh, that's just the world that we're
B
livin' in
E
The old boys hold all the cards and they
B F#
ain't playin' gin
E B
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked
G#m
around this place?
C#7
I should walk away
F#
Oh, I should walk away
B
But I think I'll stay
[Verse 2]
F#
There are layers to this body
B F#
Primal sex and primal shame
E B
They told me I should cover it
F#
So I went the other way
B F#
I was tryin' to own my power
B F#
Still I'm tryin' to work it out
E B
And at least it gives the paper somethin'
F#
they can write about
[Chorus]
E
Oh, that's just the world that we're
B
livin' in
E
The old boys hold all the cards and they
B F#
ain't playin' gin
E B
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked
G#m
around this place?
C#7
I should walk away
F#
Oh, I should walk away
B
But I think I'll stay
[Bridge]
B F#
So the mad man's in the big chair
B F#
And his heart's an iron vault
E B
He says "If you can't make ends meet,
F#
honey, it must be your fault"
B F#
We all focus on the winners
B F#
And get blinded by their shine
E B F#
Maybe caring for each other's just too 1969
[Chorus]
E
Oh, that's just the world that we're
B
livin' in
E
The old boys hold all the cards and they
B F#
ain't playin' gin
E B
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked
G#m
around this place?
C#7
I should walk away
F#
Oh, I should walk away
B
But I think I'll stay
[Outro]
E B F#
And I think I'll stay, yeah
B
I have too much to lose
E B F#
So I think I'll stay
B
I can't walk away
