I’m never growing old

Jimmy said our loves gonna last forever
C               G          D         G
I haven’t loved Jimmy in a long long time
C      G            D                   Em

my body was made to die, I guess my heart finally flat lined
  
C       G            D                Em
Give me back my life ‘cause I’m still bleeding
C                G    D
Give me back the holy ghost
C                G         D       Em
Give me back the girl that Jimmy’s needing
     C               D         G    D   Em   G  D 
Just give me back my rock and roll

I feel like a mama who can’t hold her baby
C           G             D
Feel like a king without a crown
C           G         D         Em       
Feel like a hero that once was a hero
    C             D           G
But the good work dragged him down

C            G           D         Em
Jimmy always asked me “what’s the matter” 
C       G     D         G
I wish I knew myself
C             G        D               Em
I’m gonna lay down and call him in the morning
C          D          G
After I’ve figured it out

C       G            D                Em
Give me back my life ‘cause I’m still bleeding
C                G    D
Give me back the holy ghost
C                G         D       Em
Give me back the girl that Jimmy’s needing
