Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying

Tom: G

G C G C G C G C

[Verse 1]
    G                         C
The whole wide world wants to put me in a box
  G
A child of divorce
C
Paradise lost
   G
If I'm being honest
      C
I was born to fly
G
No one believes me
   C                  Em7 D Em7 D
Surprise, surprise
             G    C G C
So, bring it on


[Verse 2]
G                 C
Dawn to dusk in a factory
    G                       C
The bossman's always got it out for me
      G                   C
While he drives home in a Cadillac
  G                   C                G C
I walk for miles, and never look back


[Chorus]
   Em7      D
So get busy living
   C         G
Or get busy dying
       Em7          D
If you don't take a stand
             C         G
Then there's no use in trying
       Em7               D
If you don't spread your wings
             C          G
Then there's no way of flying
   Em7      D
So get busy living
   C        G      C G C
Or get busy dying


[Verse 3]
   G
My treasure ain't gold
         C
It ain't silver or shined
G
This ain't my home
       C
I'm no slave to the grind
G                  C
Wasted days I will never get back
G
Done chasing my tail
    C                   Em7 D Em7 D
And following the pack
             G    C G C
So, bring it on


[Chorus]
   Em7      D
So get busy living
   C        G
Or get busy dying
       Em7          D
If you don't take a stand
             C         G
Then there's no use in trying
       Em7               D
If you don't spread your wings
             C         G
Then there's no way of flying
   Em7      D
So get busy living
   C        G      C G C G C G C Em7 D Em7 D G C G C
Or get busy dying



[Post-Chorus]
    G                         C
The whole wide world wants to put me in a box
            G                  C
But they'll never turn me into someone I'm not
             G     C
So, bring it on
             G     C
So, bring it on
         G
Bring it on
