Verse 1: 0:16
D                 E              D
  My friend drove off the other day,
          A       E         D
Now he's gone and all they say
              E
Is you gotta live
                 D    A:E
'Cause life goes   on.
0:26
D            E              D
  But now I see I'm mortal too,
         A       E         D
I can't live my life like you,
              E
Gotta live it up
                D    A:E
While life goes   on.

Chorus 1: 0:37
D                            A
  And I think that it's all right
                  E
That I do what I like
                               D
'Cause that's the way I wanna live.
A           E                   D A   E
  And so I give. And I'm still giving.

Verse 2: 0:55
D            E                D
  But now I wonder 'bout my friend,
       A        E        D
If he gave all he could give
                     E
'Cause he lived his life
            D      A:E
Like I live   mine.
1:06
D               E             D
  If you could see inside my head
             A      E      D
Then you'd start to understand
              E
The things I value
      D       A:E
In my   heart.

Chorus 2: 1:16
D                            A
  And I think that it's all right
                  E
That I do what I like
                               D
'Cause that's the way I wanna live.
A           E                   D A   E
  And so I give. And I'm still giving.

 D             A
Gotta make a plan,
       E         A
Gotta do what's right,
       D             A
Can't run around in circles

If you wanna build a life.

             D             A
But I don't wanna make a plan
       E        A
For a day far away,
           D                  A
While I'm young and while I'm able,
       E       A!!
All I wanna do is...
