Feelin' like the ace of spades

15 years old, work till the sun comes

Then I'm off to school again
F C
Workin' my back as a young man
Am G F
Taught me I'd rather work my mind

So we'd cop a little smoke

And crack a couple jokes
C G C
Just tryin' to learn to survive
F
I wanted to work to live
C
No not just live to work
F G
I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my t-shirt
C F
Was a young man singin' an old man's song
Am G F
Payin' with my last dimes
C G
But workin' to live beats livin' to work
F
Anytime
Instrumental

I had a teacher
F C G
She told my mother she better find me a trade

Who told me that I was enough

Sometimes at night I wake with a shiver
C G C
Sweat soakin' clean through my sheets

Not who they said I would be

C G C
First chance that I had

Oh workin' to live beats livin' to work
