[Verse 1]
F#
I've lived for a high school grades and
B Bmaj7 G#m
runinng round a track
B Bmaj7 G#m
I've lived for a hundred girls that
F#
have never called me back
F#
I've lived for the stage playing in
B Bmaj7 G#m
rock and roll band
B Bmaj7 G#m
But thats all gonna end someday and
F#
I'll have nowhere to stand
[Pre-Chorus 1]

I've lived for the future and
B F#
especially the past
C#
But tomorrow never got here and the
B C#
memories don't last
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
F#
I've lived for a party poppin
B Bmaj7 G#m
pills to drinking booze
B Bmaj7 G#m
I've lived for every music star
F#
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
F#
The partying leaves you empty and the
B Bmaj7 G#m
songs they always end
B Bmaj7 G#m
And as much fun as the booze is it
F#
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#
I've lived for being myself and lived
B F#
for being someone else
C#
And though neither one was perfect the
B C#
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]
F#
And I'm done caring what people think
B Bmaj7 G#m
about the things I say
B Bmaj7 G#m
I'm not living for no strangers praise
B C# F#
man I'm living for today
[Bridge]
B C#
Oh, I dont think that its
F# B
too morbid to say
B C#
Oh, We all might die

Like I shoulda lived the day my
C# F#
dear dad passed away
B Bmaj7 G#m

F#
I must have lived for more things than
B Bmaj7 G#m
there are names to call
B Bmaj7 G#m
But right now I'm just living for a
F#
soft spot to fall
F#
You see I'm tired but I'm happy cause
B Bmaj7 G#m
thats what living for today can do
B Bmaj7 G#m
But it sure has been easy since I've
B C# F#
been living every day with you
B Bmaj7 G#m

B C#
been living every day
F#
with you
