[Verse]
G F C G
Stake my future on a hell of a past
G F C G
Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast
G F C G
Ain't complaining about what I got
G F C G
Seen better times but who has not
[Chorus]
G F C G
Silvio I gotta go
G F C G
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
G F C G
Silvio I gotta go
G F C G
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 2]
G F C G
Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
G F C G
When I come a knockin' don't throw me no bone
G F C G
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
G F C G
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
[Verse 3]
G F C G
I can snap my fingers and require the rain
G F C G
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
G F C G
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
G F C G
And charm the whistle off an evening train
[Chorus]
G F C G
Silvio I gotta go
G F C G
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
G F C G
Silvio I gotta go
G F C G
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 4]
G F C G
Give what I got until I got no more
G F C G
I take what I get until I even the score
G F C G
You know I love you and further more
G F C G
When it is time to go you got an open door
[Verse 5]
G F C G
I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain
G F C G
You give something up for ev'rything you gain
G F C G
Since ev'ry pleasure's got an edge of pain
G F C G
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
[Verse 6]
G F C G
One of these days and it won't be long
G F C G
Going down the valley and sing my song
G F C G
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
G F C G
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
[Chorus]
G F C G
Silvio I gotta go
G F C G
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
G F C G
Silvio I gotta go
G F C G
Find out something only dead men know
