[G] [D] [A]
[F#m] [A]
It's a [F#m] hurried up life, [A] but it's the life I choose
No use in asking me to [D] slow down
[A] Cuz I got nothing [D] to lose
[A] Time and time is all I've got
You know I was born stand [D] up with a guitar in my [A] hand
I'm not trying to come on like Hollywood
But Hollywood is what I am
[G] When we [C] come [D] into a new [E] town
[D]
[G] [A] Everybody's [E] there
When [A] we play our music
[E] [D] [A] Hands are in the [Em] air
[Gm] When the [A] music's [E] over
[D] You wonder [A] where we are
[E] [D] I'm [A] standing in the [Em] silence
[D]
With [A] my old [E] guitar
[D]
Rock [A] is my life
[B] [D] This is my [A] song
[D] [A]
It's a crying shame
That some of us [D] have not survived
[A]
No use in asking how [D] it happened
[A]
But very few are left alive
I just wanna keep on making music
We gotta keep on keeping on
You're only as good as your last record
I know that someday we'll be gone
[G] When we come into a [A] new [D]
[Em] town
[D] Everybody's there
[E] [D] [F] When [G] we play [A] our [E] music
[D] Hands [G] are in [A] the air
[Em] When the music's over
You wonder where [A] we [E] are
[D] I'm standing in [A] the [Em] silence
With my old guitar
[D]
[A] Rock is my life
[Bm] [D]
This is [A] my song
