Intro:

F Bb F

I dream the most when I'm awake I've found

Dm C F Bb F

lofty expectations keep my feet upon the ground

C F

life's too short for settling

F Bb F

The road less traveled is the one I tend to take

Dm C F Bb F

relishing the challenges as proof that I'm awake

C F

life's too short for settling

So I take the journey day by day

giving everything with no restraint

but the fear of failure remains inside

the pain reminds me I'm alive

Bb C F

I'm happiest when I am struggling

F Bb F

I've been warned but I will not succumb

Dm C F Bb F

to preparing for a future I'm not sure will ever come

C F

lifes too short for hedging bets

F Bb F

Passion's all I've left in my possession

Dm C F Bb F

so I'll keep all the faith I have in rhymes and chord progressions

C F

lifes too short for settling

so I take the journey day by day

giving everything with no restraint

but the fear of failure remains inside

the pain reminds me I'm alive

and its all I've known, its all that's real

it's the only thing I'll ever feel

the only regret I'll admit

is I've only got one life to give

Bb C F

I'm happiest when I am struggling

F F F Bb F F F Bb F
