Im Gonna Start Livin Again If It Kills Me

Dave Edmunds


Tom: C#m

            E                      D
It’s time I got up and out of this fifth floor prison
E                          A
And went and did somethin’ else
          E                      C#m
I’ve been sick of everything for so long
     D                    B
That now I’m even sick of myself
          E                          D
I’m gonna call up some old friends I used to know
              E                      A
Although they never come around much now
            E           G#           C#m    Am    E          B       E
But I can’t blame them, who wants to listen to me talk about you for hours

[Chorus]
                A      B           E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
            A         B       E
If it’s the very last thing I do
          A      B              G#     C#m       E       B       E
I’m gonna make a splash in that social world And purge myself of you

[Verse 2]
E                      D
I’m gonna dust of my little black book and call Sonja
E                          A
‘Cause she was always good for a smile
          E                      C#m
But when I whispered sweet nothings into her phone
     D                    B
They meant sweet nothing to her
E                          D
Then I tried Sally and Sue, with nothing better to do
E                          A
But they were turning tricks out at Disney World
      E        G#       C#m  Am
In desperation I called Mona
        E                B            E
But her Mom said she was out with the girls

[Chorus]
                A      B           E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
            A         B       E
If it’s the very last thing I do
          A      B              G#     C#m       E       B       E
I’m gonna make a splash in that social world And purge myself of you

[Bridge]
A         B       E
Sunday or Monday, I can’t remember
A B     E
I never know what day it is
D                 C#m
Tuesday Wednesday All I ever
C             B
Blue days run in to each other

[Instrumental]
E  B  C#m  Am  E  B  E

[Chorus]
                A      B           E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
            A         B       E
If it’s the very last thing I do
          A      B              G#     C#m       E       B       E
I’m gonna make a splash in that social world And purge myself of you

[Chorus]
                A      B           E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
            A         B       E
If it’s the very last thing I do
          A      B              G#     C#m       E       B       E
I’m gonna make a splash in that social world And purge myself of you
