Capo 2
Intro:  Em   D  C  
I guess lEmife was tough, grDowing up
I dCidn't even know if I could make it or not
'Cause Emevery day is hDarder on your Cown
And when they lEmook at me, it's clDear to see
That they don't wGant to be the ones who hang arCound with me
So nEmow I guess I'll gDo it on my Cown
LCife was hard and I got down
But EmI got up and carried on
TDime passed so slAmow
The lCife I lived was all in vain
A wEmorthless show, a pointless game
TDime was so cAold
'Cause I can live a lCifetime living thEmese lies
I can lGaugh and act okDay
I can show a smCile and say I'm hEmappy
But there has gGot to be a better wDay
I wanna lCive
I wanna lEmove
Don't wanna cGare about anythDing
'Cause I can live a lCifetime living thEmis life
I'll start againC  
I'm tEmongue-tied, fDeels like
I'm lCosing hold of this life
But EmI don't wanna bDe the one I lCove, no
LCife was hard and I got down
But EmI got up and carried on
TDime passed so slAmow
The lCife I lived was all in vain
A wEmorthless show, a pointless game
TDime was so cAold
'Cause I can live a lCifetime living thEmese lives

Capo 2

Em D C

Intro:

Em D

I guess life was tough, growing up

I didn't even know if I could make it or not

Em D C

'Cause every day is harder on your own

Em D

And when they look at me, it's clear to see

G C

That they don't want to be the ones who hang around with me

Em D C

So now I guess I'll go it on my own

Life was hard and I got down

But I got up and carried on

D Am

Time passed so slow

The life I lived was all in vain

A worthless show, a pointless game

D A

Time was so cold

C Em

'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies

G D

I can laugh and act okay

C Em

I can show a smile and say I'm happy

G D

But there has got to be a better way

I wanna live

I wanna love

G D

Don't wanna care about anything

C Em

'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life

I'll start again

Em D

I'm tongue-tied, feels like

I'm losing hold of this life

Em D C

But I don't wanna be the one I love, no

Life was hard and I got down

But I got up and carried on

D Am

Time passed so slow

The life I lived was all in vain

A worthless show, a pointless game

D A

Time was so cold

C Em

'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lives

G D

I can laugh and act okay

C Em

I can show a smile and say I'm happy

G D

But there has got to be a better way

I wanna live

I wanna love

G D

Don't wanna care about anything

C D

'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life

I'll start again

C Em

'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies

G D

I can laugh and act okay

C Em

I can show a smile and say I'm happy

G D

But there has gotta be a better way

I wanna live

I wanna love

G D

And I don't care about anything

C Em

'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life

I'll start again

C Em

So I won't waste a lifetime living this life

I'll start again
