VERSE 1:
              G    D            C            G            Am7
I’ve got some deep scars from a little black heart that’s miles away. 
          G  D            C           G         Am7
I sent it packing after I saw what it did and I couldn’t believe. 
           G     D              C           G                 Am7
And now my chest hurts from the hole that I dug. It’s getting harder to breathe. 
           G  D             C            G                   Am7
I’m really gasping, wishing I could turn back and that would fix everything 

CHORUS:
     G                                    D/F#
(for once.) It’s my life, I might as well live it. 
               Em7                         D/F#
Along with the bad times, just happy to be living. 
       G                          D/F#
So it’s my time. I know it sounds selfish. 
               Em7                       D/F#
I’m really not like that. We live and we die for this.

RIFF 1>    G       D         C              G         Am7

RIFF 2>  G   D    C                 G            Am7

My knees start to shake. It’s bringing me down.

There’s one thing missing every time I step outside.

              G    D            C            G          Am7
I’ve got some deep scars from a little black heart that only make me stronger. 
          G     D            C     G        Am7
And now I don’t sleep seeing any relief. It gives me some perspective.

CHORUS:
        G                        D/F#
This is my life. I might as well live it. 
               Em7                        D/F#
Along with the bad times. Just glad to be living. 
            G                        D/F#
And this is my time. I might as well share it. 
                     Em7                   D/F#
I’ll give you all my money. We live and we die for this.
