*Listen for picking. It’s the best way.
INTRO:
C#-G# x1
F#…G#…F#…C#.G#. x2
VERSE:
F# G#
My friend drove off the other day,
F# C#
And now he’s gone and all they say,
F# G# F#…C#.G#.
Is you gotta live cuz life goes on…
F# G#
But now I see I’m mortal too,
F# C# G#
And I can’t live my life like you,
F# G# F#…C#.G#.
Gotta live it up while life goes on…
CHORUS:
F#
And I think that it’s all right,
C#
That I do what I like,
G# F#.C#..
Cuz that’s the way I wanna live.
G#
And so I give, And I’m still givin’…
BRIDGE:
F# C# G# C# x2
C#-G#
VERSE:
F# G#
And now I wonder ’bout my friend,
F# C# G#
If he gave all he could give,
F# G# F# C#.G#
Cuz he lived his life like I live mine.
F# G#
If you could see inside my head,
F# C# G#
Then you’d start to understand,
F# G# F# C#.G#.
The things I value in my heart.
CHORUS:
F#
And I think that it’s all right,
C#
That I do what I like,
G# F#.C#..
Cuz that’s the way I wanna live.
G#
And so I give, And I’m still givin’…
BRIDGE:
F# C# G# C# x4
(palm mute)
B F#
You know that,
C# G#
I know that,
B F# G# C#-G#
You’re watchin’ me…
SOLO:
(Note: chord picking/strumming not shown)
(There are lots of neat ways to just improvise on this too)
*?*I think he throws either of these () in there in place of one less strum occasionally
(If that made sense)

Gotta make a plan, x1
Gotta do what’s right,
Can’t run around in circles, x1
If you wanna build a life,
But I don’t wanna make a plan, x1
For a day far away,
While I’m young and while I’m able,
All I wanna do is…

pick the last 5 notes pretty fast and get about a half step bend on the last
one. Any questions, comments, or corrections just e-mail me.
