1st verse:
C            F       F                 G
I heard you crying. Somebody stole my soul.
C                F               F                G
  How could I be dying? I turned twenty-five days ago.
         C                   Bb                  Am                G

I won't  sit around   just thinking about the troubles that tomorrow brings.

2nd verse:
The people you've touched, the way you've touched them, I hope they've 
touched you, too.
'Cause in this life it's hard to tell what's false and what is true, yeah.
We're all on the ground just crying out. Would somebody save me please?
I won't sit around just thinking about the troubles that tomorrow brings, 
yeah.


(Chorus)


Bridge:
       Am  G    F        C
And we all come tumbling down.
          Am  G             F              C
No matter how strong we all return to the ground.
        Am  G           F         C
Another day gone, a day closer to fate.
    Am                     F
And soon we'll find it's a little bit too late.


(Am, F, G, C        Am, F, G, C)
           Too late.


Am
Na, na, na, na, na,
Am
Na, na, na, na, na,
C/G             G
Na, na, na, na, na.

Na, na,
Am
Na, na, na, na, na,
Am
Na, na, na, na, na,
C/G             G
Na, na, na, na, na.


3rd verse: (skip the Bb in the last two lines).
The things you see the way you see them will never be seen again.
Let's go through life living on luck, betting ten thousand to ten.
Mistakes I've made in this life I can't say why or when.
But the thing that's strange is you only live once, I'll never look back 
again.


Chorus: (moved up a step - key signatures: C#, F#)
    D    E    F#m   G      F     Em
I'm dy - ing   to   be a - live, yeah
    D   E   F#m  G        F     Em
Not try-ing to  just sur-vive, yeah.
D    E   F#m  G           F     Em
Let's not go  through our lives, without.
     D  E   F#m G    F     Em
Just dy-ing to  be a-live, yeah. X2


Bridge: (moved up a step)
       Bm  A    G        D
And we all come tumbling down.
          Bm  A               G           D
No matter how strong we all return to the ground.
       Bm      A                G         D
In the days to come you'll say "why did I wait"?
    Bm                         G     A
You can't just leave your life up to fate.
           Bm                G             A
You got to turn it around before it's too late.
