    Maybe you talk too high, man.

    But you've got to live a little bit faster

                  F#                B 
    ... that I'm alive and that's all,  
 
               F#                          B 
    that I can get up just as fast as I fall. 
 
              F#                             B 
    And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl.
