Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Well you know, I was always the first to arrive at the party,

Ooh... and the last to leave the scene of the crime.

Well it started with a couple of beers,

And it went I don't know how many years,

Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line. 0:47

Verse 2

Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem.

But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb.

Well I got down on my knees and said "Hey!

I just can't go on living this way!"

Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time. 1:19

Bridge

Oh yeah! One day at a time!

Oh yeah! One day at a time! 1:35

Bridge, repeated 2:23

Verse 3

Well I finally got around to admit that I was a problem.

When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine.

All the friends I used to run with are gone,

Lord, I hadn't planned on livin' this long.

But I finally learned to live my life one day at a time! 2:54

Coda

It was something I was too blind to see,

I got help from something greater than me...

And today I learned to live my life one day at a time! 3:18
