G / A,  G, C#, G#
G / A,  G, C#, G#
Verse:
G                     / A,                  G,                 C#,
              G#
My friend drove off the other day,now he's gone and all they say
G          / A,       G,          C#,    G#
Is you gotta live because life goes on,
G       / A,             G,                   C#,                G#
But now I see I'm mortal, I can't live my life like you
G          / A,      G,         C#,       G#
Gotta live it up while life goes on.

Chorus:
A         /            G
And I think it's alright,
C#                      G#
that I do what I like,
D            /                        C
cause that's the way I wanna live.
C#                    G#
And so I give, and l'm still giving...

Verse:
G                     / A,                  G,                 C#,
              G#
And now l wonder about my friend,if he gave all he could give
G          / A,       G,          C#,    G#
cause he lived his life like l live mine,
G       / A,             G,                   C#,                G#
If you could see inside my head, then you'd start to understand
G          / A,      G,         C#,       G#
the things l value in my heart.

Chorus:
A         /            G
And I think it's alright,
C#                      G#
that I do what I like,
D            /                        C
cause that's the way I wanna live.
C#                    G#
And so I give, and l'm still giving...

C#                    G#
And so I give, and l'm still giving...

Outro (w/Bass Riff)
Gotta make a plan, gotta do what's right,

Can't run around in circles,if you wanna build a life,

But l don't wanna make a plan, for a day far away,

While l'm young and while l'm able all l wanna do is...
