We left ho ^D me when were barely past eleve ^G n-teen
We've been ba ^D ck and fourth and all around through h ^A7 ell and rain
I've lov ^D ed you half of your life and Ill keep on lov ^G7 ing you
But I can't change and li ^A7 ve the way you wa ^D nt me to.
We sp ^D ent a lot of time out on the hi ^G ghway
Comi ^D ng from some town we played al ^A7 ong the way
After 3 ^D 0 years and knowing me the w ^G ay you do
You know I ^D cant change and li ^A7 ve the way you w ^D ant me to .

T ^G hat re ^A7 d bandana tied around your a ^D uburn hair
You loo ^A7 k like you ought to be somebody's wif ^D e somewhere
You ain't never going to be no bobby Mcgee but your try ^G7 ing to
But ^D I can't change and li ^A7 ve the way you wa ^D nt me to
Every ti ^D me you leave the stage I know you've h ^G7 ad your fill
