            A             D
I've got a livin' that's rough,
   G             C
a future that's tough
     D
You know what I mean
  A          D
Blankers and boasters,
          G           C
all the bluffers and posers
        D
I'm not into that scene

Chorus:
A                       B
You can tell me that I got no class
G                              D
Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last
A                                     B
Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll
G                       D
Leave me alone, let me rock and roll

Got an itchin' to rock,
a hate for small talk
I'm funny that way
Got my sights on the stars,
won't get that far
But I'll try anyway

I just like to please,
I don't like to tease
I'm easy like that
Don't like long rests,
I must confess
I'm an impatient cat

Chorus:
You can tell me that I got no class
Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last
Don't give me speeches cause they're oh so droll
Leave me alone, let me rock and roll

D         A     D     E
I do the best that I can
I'm just what I am
I do the best that I can
Well, I know what I am

I do the best that I can
I'm just what I am
I do the best that I can
Well, I know what I am

Got an itchin' to rock,
a hate for small talk
I'm funny that way
Got my sights on the stars,
won't get that far
But I'll try anyway

Rock and rollin's a scream,
makin' millions my dream
Well, I do that a lot
I'll just give it a try,
won't let good times pass me by
They're all I've got
