Verse 1:
      D*              A*
It's another November evening
       D*                G*  Fill--->       e--3------|
As you remember your way home               B----3----|
             D*              G*             G------0--|          
You meet out your aggressive tendencies        
          A
On what's left of your blackened soul
       D*           A*
You've come to this conclusion
          D*                   G*         Fill
As you're dragged from another bloody fight
       D*                    G*
You've reached the age where you've decided 
            A
That you've lived out your whole life
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dropkick_murphys/this_is_your_life_tab.html ]
Pre-Chorus:
 G             A              D
Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls
       G            A                      D
You've wasted time, wasting time as life's shadow grows so tall
     G
It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win
            Dsus             D            A*
And now you bow your head in shame, for a sin no one forgives

Chorus:
D                    G         A
Fight, fight, you'll never win
D            G           A
Tonight I'll start again
D                   G          A
Fight, fight you'll never win
D          G          A
How will I make amends
D       A   G   A D       A   G   A
This is our life, this is our time
D       A  G   A D           A  G   A
This is my life, don't waste my time

Verse 2:
     D*              A*
Your wife can't understand you
           D*             G*           Fill              
And you've alienated your oldest friends
D*                G*             A
Breaking back and fingers to the bone

Burning candles at both ends
D*            A*             D*
Tired of this petty life you lead
            G*        Fill
A series of dull events
  D*                  G*
A two-bit, half-***ed effigy
   A
Of someone else's dread
