[Verse 1]
F        Bb    Gm                F      
I forgot love, the jolt from the kick, 
F       Dm              Bb     F
Gave me a thrill that I sorely miss. 
F              Bb
The branches I broke, 
Gm              Dm
The feelings I closed. 
Dm              Am  Gm     F
That's just the way that I live 

[Verse 2] 
F           Bb                  Dm
All in good time, you waited so long, 
Dm           Am               Bb
So you could right me from my wrongs. 
Bb                Gm
You don't need to forgive, 
Gm             C
The way that I live. 

[Chorus] 
F      C        Bb      
You've got that soul. 
Gm               F
Wise beyond your years. 
F              Dm     Bb        F
You never have needed what you give. 
F               Bb
You've got that soul, 
Gm             Dm
You keep it in here. 
Dm              Am      Bb       F
And that's just the way that you live.

[Verse 3] 
F               Bb
The streets are alive, 
Gm                      F
Through the deepest red ruin 
F                   Dm             Bb          F
Can't tell if she's blushing, in a rose tinted hue. 
F                  Bb
She's finished her shift,
Gm                Dm
And waits for her lift.
Dm              Am  Gm       F
That's just the way that she lives. 

[Verse 3] 
F              Bb
The chances we have, 
Bb                 Dm
And the moments we lost. 
Dm        Am
The river I swim,
Am             Bb
But I couldn't cross. 
Bb           Gm
Don't try to forgive, 
Gm              C
The way that I live. 

[Chorus x2] 

[Final Chorus] 
F          Bb
I've got a soul, 
Gm                     F
It's lived through the years. 
F            Dm     Bb     F
I never have needed what I give. 
F          Bb
I've got a soul, 
Gm           Dm
I keep it in here. 
Dm              Am
And that's just the way, 
Bb      F       Dm Bb F
That I live. 

F               Bb  Gm     F
That's just the way that I live.

F               Bb  C      F
That's just the way that I live.
