Intro: Em D C 
     
         Em               D 
I guess life was tough, growing up 
   C 
I didn't even know if I could make it or not 
       Em            D             C 
'Cause every day is harder on your own 

               Em                D 
And when they look at me, it's clear to see 
                 G                             C 
That they don't want to be the ones who hang around with me 
    Em               D          C 
So now I guess I'll go it on my own 

 C 
Life was hard and I got down 
    Em 
But I got up and carried on 
 D               Am 
Time passed so slow 

     C 
The life I lived was all in vain 
   Em  
A worthless show, a pointless game 
 D           A 
Time was so cold 

                     C                Em 
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies 
       G              D 
I can laugh and act okay 
               C                Em 
I can show a smile and say I'm happy 
               G                  D 
But there has got to be a better way 

         C 
I wanna live 
         Em 
I wanna love 
             G              D 
Don't wanna care about anything 
                     C                Em 
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life 
                C 
I'll start again 

     Em           D 
I'm tongue-tied, feels like 
     C 
I'm losing hold of this life 
    Em             D            C 
But I don't wanna be the one I love, no 

 C 
Life was hard and I got down 
    Em 
But I got up and carried on 
 D               Am 
Time passed so slow 

     C 
The life I lived was all in vain 
   Em 
A worthless show, a pointless game 
 D           A 
Time was so cold 

                     C                Em 
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lives 
       G              D 
I can laugh and act okay 
               C                Em 
I can show a smile and say I'm happy 
               G                  D 
But there has got to be a better way 

         C 
I wanna live 
         Em 
I wanna love 
             G              D 
Don't wanna care about anything 
                     C                D 
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life 
                Em 
I'll start again 

                     C                Em 
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies 
       G              D 
I can laugh and act okay 
               C                Em 
I can show a smile and say I'm happy 
               G                 D 
But there has gotta be a better way 

         C 
I wanna live 
         Em 
I wanna love 
             G              D 
And I don't care about anything 
                     C                Em 
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life 
                C 
I'll start again 

                    C                Em 
So I won't waste a lifetime living this life 
                C 
I'll start again
