The Life

	  		
Intro: D, A, Bm, G 

Verse 1: 
   D 
Im leaving tonight 
Down the same dirt road 
A 
A million times 
                            Bm 
Ive driven just to get home 
                         G 
And I aint ever looking back 
For nothing 

D 
Headed for the coast 
Looking for the high life 
A 
Everybody knows 
                            Bm 
Its nothing but a good time 
                         G 
And I sold everything I had 
For something 
Em              G 
I cant seem to find 

 
D                                 A     
 So this is the life they talked about 
                                Bm 
And this is the I cant live without 
                            G 
When the real world crashes down 
                        D 
Oh if they could see me now 
                                 A 
When all the dreams are all your own 
                        Bm 
Turn to nightmares all alone 
                               G 
It hits you right between the eyes 
            D     A 
This is the life 
             Bm 
This is the life 
    G 
ohohoh 


Verse 2: 
D                                      
These four walls feel more like a prison 
  A                   
Instead of pure highs 
                          Bm 
I couldnt wait to live in 
                           G 
So I just drink myself to sleep 
Again 

  D 
I cant escape my mind 
                        
This aint like a movie 
    A 
Its getting hard to hide 
                    Bm 
More its doin to me 
                            G 
I dont know how long I can keep 
From going 
Em             G 
Crazy all the time 

 
D                                 A     
 So this is the life they talked about 
                               Bm 
So this is the I cant live without 
                            G 
When the real world crashes down 
                        D 
Oh if they could see me now 
                                 A 
When all the dreams are all your own 
                        Bm 
Turn to nightmares all alone 
                               G 
It hits you right between the eyes 
            D     A    Bm    G 
This is the life 


  

Bridge: 
Bm 
   Nothings ever what it seems 
A 
   Maybe that grass aint so green 
Bm                      G 
   Nothings ever out of reach 

When youre seventeen 



D                               A

Oh if they could see me now 
                                 A 
When all the dreams are all your own 
                         Bm
