verse 1
Em A Em A
I was poor born, out in tin town
Em A
I'd sing along with Jerry Lee records
Em A
Trying to get my moves down
Em A Em A
I was skinny, I was big-nosed
Em A
The only thing I had on my mind
Em A
Was trying to do the "please don't"
A A A
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off
Em A
It's just the way I am
Em A
verse 2
Em A Em A
I was wasted, I was dumb-struck
Em A
I'd wake up in the bottom of something
Em A
Being loaded in a dump truck
Em A Em A
I was so gone, I was dead-eyed
Em A
I've been screaming at the top of my lungs
Em A
Since 1965
A A A
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off
Em A
It's just the way I am
verse 3
Em A Em A
I've been rocked out, I can't cool down
Em A
I've got a woman who still makes me crazy
Em A
With the shake of her nightgown
Em A Em A
I'm still nervous, I ain't been broken
Em A
I'm still churning and burning inside
Em A
And I can't stop smokin'
A A A
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off
Em A
It's just the way I am
