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

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

G# G#maj7 Fm
So forget all that other stuff and
G# A# D#

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