Intro 
F Bb Gm F Gm Bb F Bb Gm Dm Am Gm F 

verse 1 
F        Bb    Gm                F       
I forgot love, the jolt from the kick,  
F       Dm              Bb     F 
Gave me a thrill that I sorely miss.  
F              Bb 
The branches I broke,  
Gm              Dm 
The feelings I closed.  
Dm              Am  Gm     F 
That's just the way that I live  

verse 2  
F           Bb                  Dm 
All in good time, you waited so long,  
Dm           Am               Bb 
So you could right me from my wrongs.  
Bb                Gm 
You don't need to forgive,  
Gm             C 
The way that I live.  

Chorus  
F      C        Bb       
You've got that soul.  
Gm               F 
Wise beyond your years.  
F              Dm     Bb        F 
You never have needed what you give.  
F               Bb 
You've got that soul,  
Gm             Dm 
You keep it in here.  
Dm              Am      Bb       F 
And that's just the way that you live.  

F Bb Gm Dm Am Bb F 

verse 3  
F               Bb 
The streets are alive,  
Gm                      F 
Through the deepest red ruin  
F                   Dm             Bb          F 
Can't tell if she's blushing, in a rose tinted hue.  
F                  Bb 
She's finished her shift, 
Gm                Dm 
And waits for her lift. 
Dm              Am  Gm       F 
That's just the way that she lives.  

verse 3  
F              Bb 
The chances we have,  
Bb                 Dm 
And the moments we lost.  
Dm        Am 
The river I swim, 
Am             Bb 
But I couldn't cross.  
Bb           Gm 
Don't try to forgive,  
Gm              C 
The way that I live.

It's lived through the years.  
F            Dm     Bb     F 
I never have needed what I give.  
F          Bb 
I've got a soul,  
Gm           Dm 
I keep it in here.

That I live.
