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

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

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