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