[Verse 1]
D
I've lived for a high school grades and
G Gmaj7 Em
runinng round a track
G Gmaj7 Em
I've lived for a hundred girls that
D
have never called me back
D
I've lived for the stage playing in
G Gmaj7 Em
rock and roll band
G Gmaj7 Em
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]

G Gmaj7 Em
throwing it away
G Gmaj7 Em

[Verse 2]
D
I've lived for a party poppin
G Gmaj7 Em
pills to drinking booze
G Gmaj7 Em
I've lived for every music star
D
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
D
The partying leaves you empty and the
G Gmaj7 Em
songs they always end
G Gmaj7 Em
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 Gmaj7 Em
about the things I say
G Gmaj7 Em
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 Em
Like I shoulda lived the day my
A D
dear dad passed away
G Gmaj7 Em

(*tempo starts slowing down)
D
I must have lived for more things than
G Gmaj7 Em
there are names to call
G Gmaj7 Em
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 Gmaj7 Em
thats what living for today can do
G Gmaj7 Em
But it sure has been easy since I've
G A D
been living every day with you
G Gmaj7 Em

G A
been living every day
D
with you
End on D
