verse 1 
Am                  G              C 
You never know what tomorrow may bring 
        Am               G              C 
The woman lyin' next to you could be a memory 
Am                      G           C 
I've idolized, I've memorized your face 
          Am    G               C 
Just in case, I need it last me eternity 
          Am  G              C 
It's a shame that it ain't enough for me 
 
Am                        G              C 
Life's for the livin', I won't be givin' up 
          Am                 G                     C 
'Cause you taught me how to, you taught me how to love 
Am                    G                        C 
Take all I cherished, beat me 'til my body's numb 
    Am                       G               C 
But life's for the livin', I won't be givin' up 
    Am    G       C 
On you,        on you 
    Am    G       C 
On you,        on you 
 
Am G  C  Am G  C  
 
verse 2 
Am                     G                     C 
I should have known, should have tried to hold on 
        Am                G                 C 
And never left your heart   where it don't belong 
      Am                          G                 C 
If the wind would change, bring you back again, my love 
          Am    G               C 
Come Hell or high water, we will rise above 
          Am        G               
You are what I believe in 
        C 
You are enough 
 
Am                        G              C 
Life's for the livin', I won't be givin' up 
          Am                 G                     C 
'Cause you taught me how to, you taught me how to love 
Am                    G                        C 
Take all I cherished, beat me 'til my body's numb 
    Am                       G               C 
But life's for the livin', I won't be givin' up 
    Am    G       C 
On you,        on you 
    Am    G       C 
On you,        on you 
 
Outro 
Even though, I know you'd tell me to 
 
Am G  C  Am G  C  
Am G  C  Am G  C
