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