I WANNA LIVE


[ E   G   C   D ] x4 


E      G       C       D
I've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself
I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool
     

   C
   I give what I've got to give
   G             D
   I give what I need to live
   

   I give what I've got to give...
   

   E   G    C   D  
   I wanna live 
   I want to live my life
   

   I wanna live... 

As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

   I give what I've got to give...

   I give what I've got to give...

   I wanna live... 

   I wanna live... 


E

[ C   G   D ] x2


   I wanna live...
   
   I wanna live... 

   I wanna live... 

   I wanna live...

On a midnight odyssey riding in my head

One crisis after another

For our piece of this world

I'M NOT JESUS


[ A  Bb     G ] x6


A                           Bb G
Don't wear a crown of thorns
Got no holes in my head
Don't accuse me of that crime
Don't hang me up to dry


D        D#
It's not me
It's not me
It's not me


[ D  D# ]


Don't wanna die for your sins
Got no special powers
Sacrifice and sacrilege
Hey man, I wanna live

   I'm not Jesus
   I can't heal you


[ A    Bb  G ] x2


Taste my blood it doesn't taste like wine
Can't you see this cross isn't mine 
Judas must die for what he has done 
Satan's watching With his gun

It's not me...


[ D  D# ]


Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Say your prayers-it's your only hope
Twelve apostles can't help you now
I'll be back to stake my ground

   I'm not Jesus...

   I'm not Jesus...


[ A  Bb     G ] x6


Don't wear a crown of thorns...

   I'm not Jesus...

   I'm not Jesus...
