[Intro]
Em E7sus Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
Em E7sus Cmaj7
Left my hometown back in 03
Em
Let me tell you now
E7sus Cmaj7
Not cracked up to what it’s supposed to be
C D
What seemed like a good thing then
Am D
Turned out to be everything I dread
Em C D
Need to tear out this page and retry
Em E7sus Cmaj7
This is my life
[Verse 2]
Em E7sus Cmaj7
Got a good job in the city
Em E7sus Cmaj7
Made some money played make believe
C D
I always knew that it wouldn’t last
Am D
Kept thinking of my past
Em C D
And how I left all my friends back home
[Chorus]
Em
This is my life
D
Not going to change it
C D
Not for you or for anybody
Em
My life
D
Why should I
C D
Not do what I was meant to
Em E7sus Cmaj7
This is my life
[Verse 3]
Em E7sus Cmaj7
The world kept spinning I could never gain control
Em E7sus Cmaj7
Never winning always wanting more
C D
You can’t swim if you don’t dive in
Am D
Can’t win if you don’t bet
Em C D
Time to gamble it’s time to roll the dice
[Chorus]
Em
This is my life
D
Not going to change it
C D
Not for you or for anybody
Em
My life
D
Why should I
C D
Not try what so many have tried
Em
This is my
E7sus
This is my
Cmaj7
This is my life
Em
This is my
E7sus
This is my
Cmaj7
This is my life
Em
This is my life
