Reasons for Livin'
INTRO: A D A E A
A D
I like to drink and I like to smoke
A E
I like women who like to sin
A D
But I've got liver disease and a spot on my lung
A E A
And a sore on my lip now and then
I like it fast and I like it hard
I like to stand out on the edge of the hill
But my mind has gone slow and my body has gone soft
And my balance is losin' its will
CHORUS:
D A
When it's no longer a given that your heart won't quit tryin'
E A
'Cause the reason it's livin' is the reason it's dyin'
D A
This life ain't too forgivin' when it's time you were buyin'
E D A
And your reasons for livin' are the reason you're dyin'
INTRO
I don't like to sleep and waste my time
I like the light to shine on me
But I'm gettin' tired and the time draws near
That light they say will set you free
I love to play the game of life
I fight its wars like a barroom lord
But this machine that I'm playin' with
I've asked more from than it can afford
CHORUS
E D A
And your reasons for livin' are the reason you're dyin'
