INTRO: C F G (x2) C F (x2)
VERSE 1:
C
There we stood and there we left
F
Outside the flashing neon sign
C
With the smell of cheap cigars
F
And the hope of sweet perfume
PRE-CHORUS 1:
G
And his heart it was reeling
F
With the thrill of it all
G
All to do and only hours
F
He said all this is all yours
CHORUS 1:
C
You can have it all
F
You can take it all away
C
From where we left off
F
Living it all your way
G
If you'll stand in my shoes
F
If you'll do what I do
C F
On wages day
C F
On wages day
VERSE 2:
C
And the cap from Disneyland
F
That his cousin she brought back
C
Stays open in his hand
F
From one week to another

And this long narrow land

He said all this is all yours

Living it all your way
