[Verse]
D C G D
Stake my future on a hell of a past
D C G D
Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast

Ain't complaining about what I got
D C G D
Seen better times but who has not
[Chorus]
D C G D
Silvio I gotta go
D C G D
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
D C G D
Silvio I gotta go
D C G D
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 2]
D C G D
Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
D C G D
When I come a knockin' don't throw me no bone
D C G D
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
D C G D
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
[Verse 3]
D C G D
I can snap my fingers and require the rain
D C G D
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
D C G D
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
D C G D
And charm the whistle off an evening train
[Chorus]

Find out something only dead men know

D C G D
Give what I got until I got no more
D C G D
I take what I get until I even the score
D C G D
You know I love you and further more
D C G D
When it is time to go you got an open door
[Verse 5]
D C G D
I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain
D C G D
You give something up for ev'rything you gain
D C G D
Since ev'ry pleasure's got an edge of pain
D C G D
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
[Verse 6]
D C G D
One of these days and it won't be long
D C G D
Going down the valley and sing my song
D C G D
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
D C G D
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
[Chorus]
D C G D
Silvio I gotta go
D C G D
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
D C G D
Silvio I gotta go
D C G D
Find out something only dead men know
