[Verse 1]
A
I've lived for a high school grades and
D Dmaj7 Bm
runinng round a track
D Dmaj7 Bm
I've lived for a hundred girls that
A
have never called me back
A
I've lived for the stage playing in
D Dmaj7 Bm
rock and roll band
D Dmaj7 Bm
But thats all gonna end someday and
A
I'll have nowhere to stand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E
I've lived for the future and
D A
especially the past
E
But tomorrow never got here and the
D E
memories don't last
[Chorus 1]
A
So I'm taking all I thought I knew and
D Dmaj7 Bm
throwing it away
D Dmaj7 Bm
I'm gonna start living for everything
D E A

[Verse 2]
A
I've lived for a party poppin
D Dmaj7 Bm
pills to drinking booze
D Dmaj7 Bm
I've lived for every music star
A
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
A
The partying leaves you empty and the
D Dmaj7 Bm
songs they always end
D Dmaj7 Bm
And as much fun as the booze is it
A
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E
I've lived for being myself and lived
D A
for being someone else
E
And though neither one was perfect the
D E
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]
A
And I'm done caring what people think
D Dmaj7 Bm
about the things I say
D Dmaj7 Bm
I'm not living for no strangers praise
D E A
man I'm living for today
[Bridge]
D E
Oh, I dont think that its
A D
too morbid to say
D E
Oh, We all might die
A D
tomorrow come what may
D Bm
Like I shoulda lived the day my
E A
dear dad passed away
D Dmaj7 Bm
Your living for everything when your
D E A
living for today
D Dmaj7 Bm
So forget all that other stuff and
D E A
start living for today
[Interlude 2]
D Dmaj7 Bm
Doo do do doo
D Dmaj7 Bm A
Doo do do doo do doo
[Verse 3]
(*tempo starts slowing down)
A
I must have lived for more things than
D Dmaj7 Bm
there are names to call
D Dmaj7 Bm
But right now I'm just living for a
A
soft spot to fall
A
You see I'm tired but I'm happy cause
D Dmaj7 Bm
thats what living for today can do
D Dmaj7 Bm
But it sure has been easy since I've
D E A
been living every day with you
D Dmaj7 Bm
Yeah it sure has been easy since I've
D E
been living every day
A
with you
End on A
