I Just Wanna Live

I need an alarm system in my house,

so I know when people are creepin' about.

These people are freakin' me out these days.

It's gettin' hectic ev'rywhere that I go.

They won't leave me alone.

There's things they all wanna know.

I'm paranoid of all the people I meet.

Why are they talking to me?

And why can't (D5)anyone see I just wanna (Am)live.

(F)Don't really care (G)about the (Am)things that they say,

(F)don't really care (G)about what (Am)happens to me.

(F)I (G)just wanna (Am)live,

(G)just wanna (F)live, just wanna live,

(G)just wanna (A5)live, just wanna live,

just wanna (Am)live.

I rock a lawsuit when I'm goin' to (A5)court,

a white suit when I'm gettin' divorced,

a black suit at the funeral home,

and my birthday suit when I'm home alone.

Talkin' on the phone, got an interview with the Rolling Stone,

they're saying "Now you're rich, and now you're famous.

Fakeass girls all know your name,"

and, "Lifestyles of the rich and famous,

your first hit.

Are you ashamed of the life,

of the life, of the life we're livin'?"

I just wanna (Am)live.

(F)Don't really care (G)about the (Am)things that they say,

(F)don't really care (G)about what (Am)happens to me.

(F)I (G)just wanna (Am)live,

(A5)Stop your messin' around, boy, better think of your future.

Better make some good friends, boy,

said ev'ry one of my teachers.

Look out, you better play it safe.

You never know what hard times will come your way,

we say.

Where we're comin' from, we've already (E)seen the worst this life can bring.

(Am)Now we expect (G)it (F)ev'rywhere that we go,

(G)All the (Am)things that they say,

(G)yeah, we (F)already know.
