[G]
[D] [G]
[D] I [F#m] can't go on like this knowing that I'm just getting by.
I can't go on like this knowing that I'm just getting high.
[D] I can't go [F#m] on like this knowing that I'm just getting by.
I can't go on like this knowing [G] that I'm just getting high.
[D] Well I wake up around [G] 10 in the morning feeling crazy, feeling on it.
From the night before cause I was up till 4 in the morning.
[D] Love song.
So I [G] take a long trip and then I take out my [D] song scripts.
When I sit [G] down to write I always look to God to help me see the light.
[D] But I know that I ain't been [G] living right and I know that I can't live by the night.
But it's so hard for me to put it down.
So hard for me to pass up the crown.
[D] When it's been passed down I'm sitting [G] on the throne.
And sometimes I feel in this world I've just been [D] thrown in.
Not been shown in and I don't [G] know when to slow it [D] down.
But I can't go [G] on like this knowing that I'm just getting by.
Can't go on like this knowing that I'm just getting high.
[D] Can't go [G] on like this knowing that I'm just getting by.
Can't go on like this knowing that I'm just getting high.
But this is the life, life, [E] life, [A] life, the life.
[G] This is the life, life, the life, [A] life, the life.
Yeah, [G] this is the life, life, the life, [A] life, the life.
Yeah.
They tell [G] me it's the life, life, the life, [A] life, the life.
Yeah.
[D] [G] Once again, I hit the hot spot with my SoCal friends.
Then I, I hit the ATM.
And then I realize I ain't got no [D] ends.
And then I call up my kin.
Hey, my [G] money's going.
I'm standing at the bar, but the drinks been flowing.
[D] Strapped for cash, standing [G] on the block.
Drunk as hell, trying to avoid the damn cops.
And [D] this is how it is sometimes when you [G] fall off track.
Like when you wreck a stretch and you try to run it back.
But sometimes a stretch got too deep an impact.
It makes it so hard for you not to look [D] back, regretting things you did and you [G] passed.
I wake up in the morning, tell myself it won't last.
But I, then I get another glass.
And I, start to act like an ass.
But [D] I, can't go [G] on like this, knowing that I'm just getting high.
I, can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting high.
[D] I, can't go [G] on like this, knowing that I'm just getting high.
[D] I, can't go [G] on like this, knowing that I'm just getting high.
But this is the life, life, the [E] life, [A] life, the life.
This [G] is the life, life, the life, [A] life, the life.
They [G] tell me it's the life, life, the [D] life, life, the [A] life.
