[Verse 1]
G#
I've lived for a high school grades and
C# C#maj7 A#m
runinng round a track
C# C#maj7 A#m
I've lived for a hundred girls that
G#
have never called me back
G#
I've lived for the stage playing in
C# C#maj7 A#m
rock and roll band
C# C#maj7 A#m
But thats all gonna end someday and
G#
I'll have nowhere to stand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D#
I've lived for the future and
C# G#
especially the past
D#
But tomorrow never got here and the
C# D#
memories don't last
[Chorus 1]
G#
So I'm taking all I thought I knew and
C# C#maj7 A#m
throwing it away
C# C#maj7 A#m
I'm gonna start living for everything
C# D# G#
and I'm living for today

G# G# C# C#maj7 A#m
C# C#maj7 A# G#
[Verse 2]
G#
I've lived for a party poppin
C# C#maj7 A#m
pills to drinking booze
C# C#maj7 A#m
I've lived for every music star
G#
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
G#
The partying leaves you empty and the
C# C#maj7 A#m
songs they always end
C# C#maj7 A#m
And as much fun as the booze is it
G#
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D#
I've lived for being myself and lived
C# G#
for being someone else
D#
And though neither one was perfect the
C# D#
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]
G#
And I'm done caring what people think
C# C#maj7 A#m
about the things I say
C# C#maj7 A#m
I'm not living for no strangers praise
C# D# G#
man I'm living for today
[Bridge]
C# D#
Oh, I dont think that its
G# C#
too morbid to say
C# D#
Oh, We all might die
G# C#
tomorrow come what may
C# A#m
Like I shoulda lived the day my
D# G#
dear dad passed away
C# C#maj7 A#m
Your living for everything when your
C# D# G#
living for today
C# C#maj7 A#m
So forget all that other stuff and
C# D# G#
start living for today

[Verse 3]
(*tempo starts slowing down)
G#
I must have lived for more things than
C# C#maj7 A#m
there are names to call
C# C#maj7 A#m
But right now I'm just living for a
G#
soft spot to fall
G#
You see I'm tired but I'm happy cause
C# C#maj7 A#m
thats what living for today can do
C# C#maj7 A#m
But it sure has been easy since I've
C# D# G#
been living every day with you
C# C#maj7 A#m
Yeah it sure has been easy since I've
C# D#
been living every day
G#
with you
End on G#
