Tom: F#m A E F#m E When you turned seventeen, you said you’d follow your dream D Dm and be an artist. A E F#m E You’ve found a comfortable niche, and though you’re quite far from rich, D Dm your life has started. A E F#m E Things are starting to click, but then you get very sick. D Dm The doc says “cancer”. A E F#m E Your passion barely pays bills, and you can’t pay for the pills. D Dm Who has the answer? [Chorus] A D D Every hour of every day is so filled with these Dm possibilities. A D D But, in this life, any choice you make can go up in flames. Dm Can I win this game? D G Bm Am I doing it right, doing it right? D G Bm I gotta put up a fight, doing it right. D G Bm F#m D Can I buckle down and save my world tonight? A Am I doing it right? [Break] A E F#m E D Dm [Verse 2] A E F#m E This girl is out of your league, but when you got on one knee D Dm She said, “Let’s do it.” A E F#m E You’ve got a mess of a life, but now your best friend’s your wife. D Dm You might get through it. A E F#m E Months all fade into years. Then one day, she’s in tears. D Dm She says she’s done pretending. A E F#m E She’s gone and found someone new. He’s ten times better than you. D Dm There goes your happy ending. [Chorus] A D D Every hour of every day is so filled with these Dm possibilities. A D D But, in this life, any choice you make can go up in flames. Dm Can I win this game? D G Bm A Am I doing it right, doing it right? D G Bm A I gotta put up a fight, doing it right. D G Bm F#m D Can I buckle down and save my world tonight? [Bridge] D A Half of the time, you feel you’re out of your mind. G Gm You’ve got no clue where to look. There’s no instructional book. D A You just stumble along, and maybe mumble a song G Gm that you make up as you go, because you just never know. (Play singular notes) D A You never know if they hate or if they like you. B F# You never know if a move is the right move. G D You never know ‘bout the world, what it might do. G A Sometimes, everything is going nice and then, D A like the best-laid plans of mice and men, B F# it all blows up once, then twice again. G D Then every little decision that sounded great at the time G A has got you trapped in a cage of your own design, A Even if you succeed, it could be gone in a flash, E and then the age-old question is back. [Chorus] D G Bm A Am I doing it right? D G Bm A Am I doing it right, doing it right? [Outro] D G Bm A Am I doing it right? D G Bm A Am I doing it right? D G Bm F#m A When the story ends, will I say it was nice? D G Bm A Am I doing it right?
