(say)

            G     F                     G
        ...say      I'm gonna ride the serpent
        F                   G
        No more time spent sweatin' rent
        F [3 bars]
        Hear my command I'm breakin' loose
                     G
        It ain't no use
         F [2 bars]
        Holdin' me down
         G [3 bars]
        Stick around
        But baby (but baby)
        Remember (remember)

[Chorus]
        C        Dm           F          G
        It's my life and I'll do what I want
        C        Dm             F          G
        It's my mind and I'll think what I want
        F             G
        Show me I'm wrong
        F             G
        Hurt you sometime
              F                          G    F  G
        But someday I'll treat you real fine

[Verse 2]
        There'll be women and their fortunes
        Who just love to mother orphans
        Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' 'em dry
        Takin' all I can get, no regrets
        When I...
        Openly lie
        And leave only money
        Believe me honey, that money
        Can you believe, I ain't no saint
        Who complains
        So girl cut out
        Any doubt
        But baby (but baby)
        Remember (remember)

[Chorus]
        C        Dm           F          G
        It's my life and I'll do what I want
        C        Dm             F          G
        It's my mind and I'll think what I want
        F             G
        Show me I'm wrong
        F             G
        Hurt you sometime
              F                          G    F  G
        But someday I'll treat you real fine

[Coda]
          C       Dm           F          G
        (It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
        (It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life
        (It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
        (It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
        (It's my life and I'll do what I want) [fade]
