Intro: C 

      C      F G C                     Em         
So now I am older                   
                       F               Em 
than my mother and father 
                      Am 
when they had their daughter 
    G               F          G     G7 
now what does that say about me? 

Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love 
could I wash my hands of 
just looking out for me? 

      F      Em     Am 
Oh man what I used to be 
Em   G    Em   Am   F     G      G7 
Oh  man  oh   my   oh   me 
     F      Em      Am 
Oh man what I used to be 
Em   G    Em  Am   F    G      G7 
Oh  man  oh   my   oh   me 

In dearth or in excess  
both the slave and the empress 
will return to the dirt, I guess, naked as when they came 

i wonder if I'll see any faces above me 
or just cracks in the ceiling 
nobody else to blame? 

Oh man what I used to be 
Oh man oh my oh me 
Oh man that I used to be 
Oh man oh my oh me 

INTERLUDE 

F Am G 
Ohhhhhhh 
F Am G F G 
Ohhhhhhhh 

Gold teeth and gold jewelry 
every piece of your dowry 
throw them into the tomb with me 
bury them with my name 

Unless i have someday 
Ran my wandering mind away 

Oh man what i used to be 
Montezuma to Tripoli 
Oh man oh my oh me
