have never called me back 
G 
I've lived for the stage playing in 
C       Cmaj7   Am

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

C     D

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

start living for today

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
