Dying to Live
STFU Lorax
Capo 3
You know I've hGeard it said there's bDeauty in distoEmrtion.C  
By some pGeople who've withdDrawn to find their hEmeadsC  
Now they sGay that there is hDumor in misfoEmrtuneC  
You know I woCnder if they'll lDaugh when I am dGead
Why am I fiCghting to lGive if I 'm just lEmiving to fiGght?
Why am I trCying to see Gwhen there ain't Emnothing in sDight?
Why am I trCying to giGve when no one gEmives me a tGry?
Why am I dyCing to liGve if I'm just liEmving to diGe?
Hey, you know some peGople say that vaDlues are subjeEmctive,C  
But they'Gre just speaking wDords that someone elEmse has sCaid.
And so they lGive and fight and kiDll with no objEmective.C  
Sometimes it's haCrd to tell the liDving from the deGad.
Why am I fiCghting to lGive if I 'm just lEmiving to fiGght?
Why am I trCying to see Gwhen there ain't Emnothing in sDight?
Why am I trCying to giGve when no one gEmives me a tGry?
Why am I dyCing to liGve if I'm just liEmving to diGe?
Yeah, you knoGw I used to weavDe my words into conEmfusion.C  
And so I hGope you'll understDand me when I 'm thrEmoughC  
You know I usGed to live my liDfe as an illuEmsion,C  
But realiCty will maDke my dreams come tGrue.
So I'll keep fiCghting to lGive till there's no rEmeason to fiGght
And I'll keep trCying to sGee until the Emend is in siDght
You know I'm trCying to giGve so c'mon gEmive me a trGy
You know I'Cm dying tGo live until I'm Emready to dGie.

Dying to Live

STFU Lorax

Capo 3

G D Em C

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.

G D Em C

By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads

G D Em C

Now they say that there is humor in misfortune

C D G

You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

C G Em G

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?

C G Em D

Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?

C G Em G

Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?

C G Em G

Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

G D Em C

Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective,

G D Em C

But they're just speaking words that someone else has said.

G D Em C

And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.

C D G

Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.

C G Em G

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?

C G Em D

Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?

C G Em G

Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?

C G Em G

Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

G D Em C

Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion.

G D Em C

And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through

G D Em C

You know I used to live my life as an illusion,

C D G

But reality will make my dreams come true.

C G Em G

So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight

C G Em D

And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight

C G Em G

You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try

C G Em G

You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die.
