[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)

[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
