But thats all gonna end someday and

I'll have nowhere to stand

I've lived for a party poppin

The partying leaves you empty and the

songs they always end

And as much fun as the booze is it
F
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]

I've lived for being myself and lived
A# F
for being someone else

And though neither one was perfect the
A# C
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]

about the things I say
A# A#maj7 Gm
I'm not living for no strangers praise
A# C F

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
A# A#maj7 Gm

A# A#maj7 Gm

A# C
been living every day
