  Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son 
Bb                       F 
  Tomorrow mornin' I could be a bum

  I don't know how but sometimes  
Dm       G 
  I can be strong

  And if I don't have a car I'll hitch

  And make a living at a piano bar

Bb             F 
Oh, lighting and thunder 
C                                  G 
Flashed across the roads we drove up on 
Bb                          F 
Oh but it's clear skies we're under 
C                   G 
When we are together, when I sing my song 

{Solo:}  C   G   Bb   F  (2x)

Dm       G 
  I can be strong 

{Verse} 
C               G 
Fun ain't easy if it free 
Bb                    F 
  Too many people got a hold on me 
    C                  G 
But I know somethin that they don't know 
Bb                  F 
I know a woman in New Mexico 

{Chorus} 
Dm             G 
  Worse comes to worst 
Dm        G 
  I'll get along  
Dm           G 
  I don't know how but sometimes  
Dm       G 
  I can be strong   (repeat and fade Chorus)
