Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/love/que_vida_tab_ver_2.html ]
A B
With pictures and words
D6 E7
Is this communicating?
A B
The sounds that I've heard
D6 E7
The growling voice then fading
D6 E7
And yes my heart was beating
D6 E7
Or was it just repeating
[repeat instrumental break 1]
Verse 2:
With nickels and dimes
You soon will have a dollar
Am I in your time
I see no need to swallow
Or catch a plane to travel
My mind's not made of gravel
[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 3:
Can you find your way
Or do you want my vision
It's dark there, they say
But that's just indecision
And in my last inspection
Is this the right direction
[repeat instrumental break 1]
Verse 4:
I once had a girl
She told me I was funny
She said in your world
You needed lots of money
And things to kill your brother
But death just starts another
[repeat instrumental break 1]
[repeat intro riff; slow down at end; sleigh bells to fade]
