[Verse 1]
C
I've lived for a high school grades and
F Fmaj7 Dm
runinng round a track
F Fmaj7 Dm
I've lived for a hundred girls that
C
have never called me back
C
I've lived for the stage playing in
F Fmaj7 Dm
rock and roll band
F Fmaj7 Dm
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 Fmaj7 Dm
throwing it away
F Fmaj7 Dm
I'm gonna start living for everything

[Verse 2]
C
I've lived for a party poppin
F Fmaj7 Dm
pills to drinking booze
F Fmaj7 Dm
I've lived for every music star
C
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
C
The partying leaves you empty and the
F Fmaj7 Dm
songs they always end
F Fmaj7 Dm
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 Fmaj7 Dm
about the things I say
F Fmaj7 Dm
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 Dm
Like I shoulda lived the day my
G C
dear dad passed away
F Fmaj7 Dm

So forget all that other stuff and
F G C

(*tempo starts slowing down)
C
I must have lived for more things than
F Fmaj7 Dm
there are names to call
F Fmaj7 Dm
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 Fmaj7 Dm
thats what living for today can do
F Fmaj7 Dm
But it sure has been easy since I've
F G C
been living every day with you
F Fmaj7 Dm

F G
been living every day
C
with you
End on C
