  			Intro: ( 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
     

   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...
