[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
DWell they crowned me with thorns on the Cday I was born
By the Glight of a cold teleDvision
DAnd I remember the bars on his Cuniform
As he Gmarched from the field of Dvision
D C G D
[Verse 2]
DWhen he didn't come home,  it was Cjust us alone
The Gbrat and the widowed ciDvilian
DThen one April night after CMa took her life
I Gfell down the street to oDblivion
[Chorus 1]
And I Gtook what the Fdumpsters were Dgiving
And GI did my Fbest to surDvive
'Cause I fGigured that lFife's for the Dliving
While you're alAive
While you're alDive
[Verse 3]
DBring out the gin and the Csmall violins
I'm a Graging success as a Dfailure
DAnd it's colder than hell in this Ccardboard hotel
Which I Gshare with a chronic emDbezzler
[Verse 4]
DSo I beat my retreat down CCollister Street
To Gone of my holy Dplaces
DAnd they tangled my wings with Cwire and string
But I'm Gspinning in a whirlpool of Dfaces
[Chorus 2]
And I'll Gtake what the Fdumpsters are gDiving
And GI'll do my Fbest to Dsurvive
'Cause I Gstill think that Flife's for the Dliving
Yes I Gstill think that Flife's for the Bbli---Gving
[Instrumental Build]
Bb C D
[Singing comes back in]
    D      C     G     D(x4)
[Chorus 3]
And I'll Gtake what the Fdumpsters are Dgiving
And I'll Gpray every Fnight to St. DGiles
But I Gstill think that Flife's for the Dliving
At least for a Awhile
At least for a Dwhile
