[Verse 1]
G
I've lived for a high school grades and
C Cmaj7 Am
runinng round a track
C Cmaj7 Am
I've lived for a hundred girls that
G
have never called me back
G
I've lived for the stage playing in
C Cmaj7 Am
rock and roll band
C Cmaj7 Am
But thats all gonna end someday and
G
I'll have nowhere to stand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
I've lived for the future and
C G
especially the past
D
But tomorrow never got here and the
C D
memories don't last
[Chorus 1]
G
So I'm taking all I thought I knew and
C Cmaj7 Am
throwing it away
C Cmaj7 Am
I'm gonna start living for everything
C D G
and I'm living for today
[Interlude]
G G C Cmaj7 Am
C Cmaj7 A G
[Verse 2]
G
I've lived for a party poppin
C Cmaj7 Am
pills to drinking booze
C Cmaj7 Am
I've lived for every music star
G
cuntry, rock, pop, dance and blues
G
The partying leaves you empty and the
C Cmaj7 Am
songs they always end
C Cmaj7 Am
And as much fun as the booze is it
G
makes a pretty shitty friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
I've lived for being myself and lived
C G
for being someone else
D
And though neither one was perfect the
C D
first was better for my health
[Chorus 2]
G
And I'm done caring what people think
C Cmaj7 Am
about the things I say
C Cmaj7 Am
I'm not living for no strangers praise
C D G
man I'm living for today
[Bridge]
C D
Oh, I dont think that its
G C
too morbid to say
C D
Oh, We all might die
G C
tomorrow come what may
C Am
Like I shoulda lived the day my
D G
dear dad passed away
C Cmaj7 Am
Your living for everything when your
C D G
living for today
C Cmaj7 Am
So forget all that other stuff and
C D G
start living for today
[Interlude 2]
C Cmaj7 Am
Doo do do doo
C Cmaj7 Am G
Doo do do doo do doo
[Verse 3]
(*tempo starts slowing down)
G
I must have lived for more things than
C Cmaj7 Am
there are names to call
C Cmaj7 Am
But right now I'm just living for a
G
soft spot to fall
G
You see I'm tired but I'm happy cause
C Cmaj7 Am
thats what living for today can do
C Cmaj7 Am
But it sure has been easy since I've
C D G
been living every day with you
C Cmaj7 Am
Yeah it sure has been easy since I've
C D
been living every day
G
with you
End on G
