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