Verse 1
D
Broke my heart
G
On the road
D
Spent the weekend
G
Sewing the pieces back on
D G
Friends and thoughts pass me by
C
Walking gets too boring
G
When you learn how to fly
D G
Not the homecoming kind
D
Take the top off
G
And who knows what you might find
D G
Won't confess all my sins
C
You can bet I'll try it
G
But You can't always win
Chorus
D
'Cause I'm a gypsy
G
Are you coming with me?
D
I might steal your clothes
G
And wear them if they fit me
D
I never made agreements
G
Just like a gypsy
C
And I won't back down
G
'Cause life's already bit me
D
And I won't cry
I'm too young to die
G
If you're gonna quit me
D G
'Cause I'm a gypsy
D G
('Cause I'm a gypsy)

When you want to get hurt

If you say 'NO'
