[Intro] Em D/F# C Em D/F# Cadd9 [Chorus]
     Em         D/F#    C
And, oh, what a life to live

            Em        D/F#       Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give

        Em      D/F#  C
To give you their love

        Em      D/F#  Cadd9
To give you their love
[Verse 1]
Em             D/F#       Cadd9
  Light awake, stargazing, I won't sleep 'til morning

Em               D/F#        Cadd9
  Echoes of your words saying, "Don't write a song for me"

Em              D/F#        Cadd9
  Everything is wrong in me, raised under wings of demons

Em            D/F#          Cadd9
  And even if God's with me, without you I have no reason

Em               D/F#         Cadd9
  This'll be the last time you hear me say sorry

Em               D/F#         Cadd9
  That'll be the last tear you waste on me crying

Em D/F#       Cadd9
I  broke this home

    Em           D/F#         Cadd9
And just like my father, I'll die all alone
[Chorus]
     Em         D/F#    C
And, oh, what a life to live

            Em        D/F#       Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give

        Em      D/F#  C
To give you their love

        Em      D/F#  Cadd9
To give you their love
[Verse 2]
  Em               D/F#       Cadd9
I'm lookin' at the kids' faces

                              Em        D/F#
Sittin' in the driveway while I pack up suitcases

Cadd9                            Em         D/F#      Cadd9
I just ruined their holiday, and lies don't die, they grow

    Em             D/F#         Cadd9
And everything you try to hide eventually shows

    Em               D/F#        Cadd9
The beast killed the beauty; the last petal fell from the rose

    Em          D/F#          Cadd9
And I loved you truly, that's why it's hard to let it go

Em D/F#       Cadd9
I  broke this home

         Em             D/F#          Cadd9
But I'll change for our daughter, so she's not alone
[Chorus]
     Em         D/F#    C
And, oh, what a life to live

            Em        D/F#       Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give

        Em      D/F#  C
To give you their love

        Em      D/F#  Cadd9
To give you their love

     Em         D/F#    C
And, oh, what a life to live

            Em        D/F#       Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give

        Em      D/F#  C
To give you their love (To give you their love)

        Em      D/F#  Cadd9
To give you their love (Oh)
[Interlude] Em D/F# C Em D/F# Cadd9 Em D/F# C Em D/F# Cadd9 [Bridge]
Em                D/F#                Cadd9
  I wrote this in Room Three, spending Christmas in rehabilitation

  Em            D/F#                 Cadd9
I got no phone, just a cell that I'm trapped in while my home's vacant

       Em               D/F#
I'm an inpatient, but I lost patience

       Cadd9
I just broke somethin', but I'm fixated

       Dm            D/F#
On the gossip that I know is happenin'

                     Cadd9
While I'm just being left out of the conversation

       Em            D/F#                       Cadd9
It's a complicated relationship, that's nobody's business

                                             Em              D/F#
But I'm in this business, face it, I've been hiding from the ideation

                Cadd9
That the public has been ruinin' my reputation

        Em             D/F#              Cadd9
And it's crazy, seeing quotations from a source that somebody curated

           Em                 D/F#
'Cause for me, y'all can feel pure hatred

         Cadd9
But just keep our baby out this situation

      Em         D/F#                Cadd9
It's a long road to redemption, and a shorter one to damnation

       Em                   D/F#
I know which one is my destination

                Cadd9
But the journey doesn't come without the frustrations

        Em                       D/F#
Like it doesn't come without the temptations

    Cadd9
And failure can lead to an elevation
N.C. 'Cause sometimes you gotta see what's waiting on the other side And know your soul's worth savin' [Chorus]
     Em         D/F#    Cadd9
And, oh, what a life to live

            Em        D/F#       Cadd9
When you're dying for someone to give

        Em      D/F#  Cadd9
To give you their love

        Em      D/F#  Cadd9
To give you their love
