Verse 1

I’ve got some deep scars from a little black heart that’s miles away.

I sent it packing after I saw what it did and I couldn’t believe.

And now my chest hurts from the hole that I dug. It’s getting harder to breathe.

I’m really gasping, wishing I could turn back and that would fix everything

Chorus

(for once.) It’s my life, I might as well live it.

Along with the bad times, just happy to be living.

So it’s my time. I know it sounds selfish.

I’m really not like that. We live and we die for this.

Verse 2

(play marked RIFFs in the verse along with chords)

RIFF 1>

So now my head hurts and it’s only getting worse every time that I think.

RIFF 2>

I feel a choking every time I have to sing. It’s getting harder for me.

RIFF 1>

And now my stomach hurts. As long as I’m in love it’s so hard to leave.

RIFF 2>

I feel a bad pain moving through my chest and my knees start to shake.

My knees start to shake. It’s bringing me down.

Chorus

This is my life. I might as well live it.

Along with the bad times. Just love to be living.

So this is my time. It know it sounds selfish.

I think I’ll have some ice cream. We live and we die for this.

Bridge

There’s one thing missing every time I step outside.

One thing missing every time I leave and drive.

One thing missing every time I’m far from home.

There’s one thing missing every time I leave for months.

One thing missing every time I lose control.

There’s one thing missing every time that I stay home.

Verse 3

I’ve got some deep scars from a little black heart that only make me stronger.

And now I don’t sleep seeing any relief. It gives me some perspective.

Chorus

This is my life. I might as well live it.

Along with the bad times. Just glad to be living.

And this is my time. I might as well share it.

I’ll give you all my money. We live and we die for this.

Solo
