[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

[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
