[A]
[D] [A]
It's a hurried up [D] life, [A] but it's a life I [D] choose.
[A] No use [D] in asking me to slow down, [A]
cause I got [E] nothing to lose.
Time and [A] time is all I've got.
I was born standing up with a guitar in my hand.
Not trying to come out like Hollywood, but Hollywood is what I am.
Coming
[D] to a new [E] town,
[Em] everybody's [E] there.
[D] [Em] When we [A] play our music, [E]
[D] [Em] hands are in the [A] air.
[E]
When the [A] music's over, [E]
you wonder where [A] we are.
[E]
[D] [E] Standing [A] in the silence [E]
[D] with my [A] own guitar.
[D]
[A] Rock is my life, and this is my song.
Rock is my life.
[G] It's a crying [D] shame that [A] [F#] some of us have not [A]
survived.
No [E] use in asking how it happened, [A] but very [D] few are left alive.
[A] [Em] We've just got to keep [D] on making music.
[A] Got to keep on keeping on.
You're only as good as your last record.
But someday we'll be back.
[G] When we come into a new [E] town, [D] [B]
everybody's there.
[E] [D] [E] When we play our music, [D] [B] hands are in the air.
