BJH — The Life You Lead
from Welcome To The Show
There’s a [C]life that burns
When the [F]night has [C]come
[F]Makes me [C]under[G]stand
You’re the [C]one I see
And I [F]can’t say [C]no
[F]Take me [C]by the [G]hand
[F] Can’t believe that you want it to be
Just the [C]game and we’re playing the [G]parts
[F] Such a feeling, it won’t let me be
Like an [C]arrow that’s straight for the [G]heart
‘Cause the [C]one you want
Is the [F]one you [C]lose
[F]That’s what [C]people [G]say
And the [C]life you lead
Is the [F]one you [C]choose
[F]Help me [C]on the [G]way
