I've lived for a high school grades and
A Amaj7 F#m
runinng round a track
A Amaj7 F#m
I've lived for a hundred girls that
E
have never called me back
E
I've lived for the stage playing in
A Amaj7 F#m
rock and roll band
A Amaj7 F#m
But thats all gonna end someday and
E
I'll have nowhere to stand
[Pre-Chorus 1]

I've lived for the future and
A E
especially the past

But tomorrow never got here and the

memories don't last

[Verse 2]
E
I've lived for a party poppin
A Amaj7 F#m
pills to drinking booze
A Amaj7 F#m
I've lived for every music star
E
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
E
The partying leaves you empty and the
A Amaj7 F#m
songs they always end
A Amaj7 F#m
And as much fun as the booze is it
E
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
B
I've lived for being myself and lived
A E
for being someone else
B
And though neither one was perfect the
A B
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]
E
And I'm done caring what people think
A Amaj7 F#m
about the things I say
A Amaj7 F#m
I'm not living for no strangers praise
A B E

I must have lived for more things than
A Amaj7 F#m

A Amaj7 F#m
But right now I'm just living for a
E
soft spot to fall
E
You see I'm tired but I'm happy cause
A Amaj7 F#m
thats what living for today can do
A Amaj7 F#m
But it sure has been easy since I've
A B E
been living every day with you

A B
been living every day
E
with you
