Intro: Em D C
    
         Em               D
I guess life was tough, growing up
   C
I didn't even know if I could make it or not
       Em            D             C
'Cause every day is harder on your own

               Em                D
And when they look at me, it's clear to see
                 G                             C
That they don't want to be the ones who hang around with me
    Em               D          C
So now I guess I'll go it on my own

 C
Life was hard and I got down
    Em
But I got up and carried on
 D               Am
Time passed so slow

     C
The life I lived was all in vain
   Em 
A worthless show, a pointless game
 D           A
Time was so cold

                     C                Em
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lies
       G              D
I can laugh and act okay
               C                Em
I can show a smile and say I'm happy
               G                  D
But there has got to be a better way

         C
I wanna live
         Em
I wanna love
             G              D
Don't wanna care about anything
                     C                Em
'Cause I can live a lifetime living this life
                C
I'll start again

     Em           D
I'm tongue-tied, feels like
     C
I'm losing hold of this life
    Em             D            C
But I don't wanna be the one I love, no

 C
Life was hard and I got down
    Em
But I got up and carried on
 D               Am
Time passed so slow

     C
The life I lived was all in vain
   Em
A worthless show, a pointless game
 D           A
Time was so cold

                     C                Em
'Cause I can live a lifetime living these lives
       G              D
I can laugh and act okay
               C                Em
I can show a smile and say I'm happy
               G                  D
But there has got to be a better way

         C
I wanna live
         Em
I wanna love
             G              D
Don't wanna care about anything
                     C                D

I'll start again
