[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                                           B
Oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in
    E                                                  B  F#
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin
    E                               B                  G#m
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked 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               F#
And at least it gives the paper somethin' they can write about

[Chorus]
E                                           B
Oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in
    E                                                  B  F#
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin
    E                               B                  G#m
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked 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                 F#
He says "If you can't make ends meet, 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                                           B
Oh, that's just the world that we're livin' in
    E                                                  B  F#
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain't playin' gin
    E                               B                  G#m
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked 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
