My friend drove off the other day,  
             C#      G#        F#  
And now he's gone and all they say,  
             G#                  F#     C# G# 
Is you gotta live cause life goes on  
F#       G#              F# 
But now I see I'm mortal too  
        C#      G#        F#   
I can't live my life like you  
F#            G#                F#     C# G#        
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And now I wonder about my friend 
           C#  G#       F#      
If he gave all he could give  
              G#                    F#    C# G# 
Cause he lived his life like I live mine 
F#           G#            F# 
If you could see inside my head  
           C#       G#   F# 
Then you'd start to understand  
             G#          F#    C# G# 
The things I value in my heart

And I think it's alright

That I do what I like cause that's the way I wanna live 
C#          G# 
   And so I give  
 
And I'm still giving

All I wanna do is...
