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