VERSE:
G F G
These days I seem to find
F G
A million reasons to sit around and waste my mind
F G
I know what's being said and that's all fine
F
You tell me to get a life
G
Do you understand the weight of that line
F pause
Take me for all I am
CHORUS:
G Am
'Cause I can find my own way
C
Big date tonight there's no tomorrow
D7sus (D7sus/C note: optional chord)*
So let's leave it on the line
G
'Cause there's time
Am C
It's not too late to change direction turn your head, son
D7sus (D7sus/C)*
So let's leave it on the line
[do verse chords]
There's something within
That's telling me that I'm just playing it too cool
I could pretty much lose everything
I never had an apple that tasted so, so sweet
Given the chance, the choice
Take me for all I am
[Repeat CHORUS]
BRIDGE: (not so sure about the chords)
Em C
Today, I am free
Am
Free to fly
F
Free to be what they tell me I cannot be
F
Happy birthday to me
[Adlib w/ solo over verse chords]
SOLO:
This is how I do the solo.. not 100% exact, just 90%.. hahaha!
I'm not so sure about the some parts of the solo. Just go and check it out
and get some ideas from it and revise it if you want. Also, listen to the song to
get the feel and timing for the solo.

[Repeat CHORUS]
[repeat intro]
[do G-F chord pattern till the end (note: near the end play the intro)]
Is this the light at the end
Where the picture is clearer
The reception is warmer
Is this the light at the end
You're looking lot better
We're happy too see ya
Is this the light at the end
You got what you came for
You know where to find the door
Is this the light at the end
Where the women are hot
But the beer's a lot colder
Is this the light at the end
Yo momma's looking good
What she doing for dinner
Is this the light at the end
If yo momma's busy
Does she have a younger sister
Is this the light at the end
You got what you came for
You know where to find the door
Is this the light at the end
*[note: at this part do the intro till the end]*
You know when I woke up to beautiful morning
Till you showed up
Nauseous, I was too see you
Standing there in my presence
But it was all right
'Cause I'm not about to fight
When this bird wants to sing, I'll sing
Gunpoint that suppose to scare me into submission
A slave to your will, fear, greed and ambition
But I'm not game
I'm not game to your flame
There's no discussion
I will fight to the end, fighter
