Intro: D A

E                          E D A
The world owes me a living
E                                    E D A
I waited on this dole queue too long
E
I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes -
       D             A             E
that's a quarter of an hour too long

A    E    A    E
oh oh ho, oh oh ho

E                              E D A
I'll take all they can give me
E                               E D A
And then I'm gonna ask for more
E
Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England
      D        A            E
and I want the key to the vault

Chorus: A F#m N.C.                       D
E                A D E
              I'm gonna take your money! Count your loss when I'm gone.
        A F#m N.C.              D       E
            N.C. D A
              I'm alright Jack! Lookin' after number one

E                            E D A
If I want something I get it
E                              E D A
Don't matter what I have to do
E
I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave
D            A      E
never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool

A    E    A    E
oh oh ho, oh oh ho

E                          D A
I don't owe no-one nothing
E                             D A
If it's me, they must come to
E     E     E      E
Stop, look, think, baby
D        A          E
I always get what I want and I want to get you

(Repeat chorus)

E         A                E         A
  Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
E         A         D     A
  Don't wanna talk like you, at all

A (like don't wanna be ... bit)

E                                D A
Don't give me love thy neighbour
E                     D A
Don't give me charity
E
Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above,
D        A         E
you only get in my way with your stupid ideas

E              D A
I am an island
E                D A
Entire of myself
E
And when I get old, older than today
D          A              E
I'll never need anybody's help in any way.

(Repeat chorus)

E         A                E         A
  Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
E         A         D     A
  Don't wanna talk like you, at all

E                  E                  E                   A
I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like - Me!
