I've lived for the stage playing in

But thats all gonna end someday and

I'll have nowhere to stand
[Pre-Chorus 1]

B
I've lived for a party poppin
E Emaj7 C#m
pills to drinking booze

I've lived for every music star
B
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
B
The partying leaves you empty and the
E Emaj7 C#m
songs they always end
E Emaj7 C#m
And as much fun as the booze is it
B
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#
I've lived for being myself and lived
E B
for being someone else
F#
And though neither one was perfect the
E F#
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]

And I'm done caring what people think
E Emaj7 C#m
about the things I say
E Emaj7 C#m
I'm not living for no strangers praise
E F# B

But right now I'm just living for a
B
soft spot to fall
B
You see I'm tired but I'm happy cause
E Emaj7 C#m

E Emaj7 C#m

E F#
been living every day
