I Want to Live Capo 1
[Intro]
C Bb F Bb A F
[Verse 1]
C Am
Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself,
C Bb
I feel like I'm just sleep walkin' through my life,
C Am
It's like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion,
C Bb
But still somehow slowly goin' numb inside,
F G
I don't like who I'm becommin',
Bb
I know I've gotta to do somethin',
G# G
Before my life passes right bye-ye
[Chorus]
C
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
Bb
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin',
F
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Bb
Fight with the devil and go down swingin',
C
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Bb
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
F G# Bb
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
C Bb
I wanna live
[Verse 2]
C Am
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart,
C Bb
I hardly do anything at all,
C Am
I've spent my whole life building up this Ivory tower,
C Bb
Now that I'm in it I keep wishin' it would fall,
F G
So I can feel the ground beneath me,
Bb
Really taste this air I'm breathin',
G# G
And know that I'm ali--ive,
[Chorus]
C
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
Bb
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin',
F
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Bb
Fight with the devil and go down swingin',
C
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Bb
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
F G# Bb
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
G# Bb G# Bb C
I wanna li--ve, I wanna li--ve,
[Bridge]
C Am
Somethin' deep inside keeps sayin' life is like a vapor,
C G#
It's gone in just a twinklin' of an eye,
[Chorus]
C
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
Bb
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin',
F
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Bb
Fight with the devil and go down swingin',
C
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Bb
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
F G# Bb
Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
[Tag]
