[Verse 1]
 E                             
Let me loose, I just got back
A                              
I was pushed and I got dragged
   D             Bm7           
I tasted mud, I tasted wine
      A                               
I've kissed the life I've left behind
    A                            
So say I choose to stick around
D                                
I've got news for this here town
   Bm7              D               
I kick the ball, I catch the bus
     A                           
And raise the roof for all of us

          
[Pre-Chorus]
 B          F#         
Destination anywhere
 C#m             E              
So far gone, I'm almost there
 B               F#          
Can't you see I can't deny
    C#m              E              
I'm out of here like I'm on fire

          
[Chorus]
 A                                      
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
 D                               
Television newsman so subliminal
  G                D              A     
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
 A                                      
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
D                                                        
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
 G               D          A    
Here I am, your demolition man

         
[Verse 2]
  E                              
Steal your car and leave a wreck
 A                                 
Kiss your bride, I cash your check
     D              Bm7               
And Tyson plus I'm ripped and torn
     A                            
Been on the edge since I was born
   A                                
I kick the jukebox, change the tune
    D                              
I break the bank and jump the moon
   Bm7               D              
I sink the fleet to catch a buzz
     A                          
And raise a glass for all of us

          
[Pre-Chorus]
 B          F#         
Destination anywhere
 C#m             E              
So far gone, I'm almost there
 B               F#          
Can't you see I can't deny
    C#m              E              
I'm out of here like I'm on fire

          
[Chorus]
 A                                      
Living like a caged-up animal, criminal
 D                               
Television newsman so subliminal
  G                D              A     
Bringing down the walls of wonderland
 A                                      
Just another highbrow cowboy telling me
D                                                        
Everything and everyone and all the things I ought to be
 G               D          A    
Here I am, your demolition man

         
[Bridge]
       E                     B/D#           
I'm a beast in space, I'm an acid taste
        D                    A/C#             
I'm a primitive gong stuffed in your face
E                B/D#              D        
It's enough to bring you to your knees
