My Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]My [C]lif[D]e[C][G][C][D][G][C][G]
was once [D]a joy to me,
Never knowing, I was [C]grow[D]ing, [G]everyday.
[C]My [G]lif[D]e w[G]as on[C]ce [G]a toy to me,[D]
And I [C]wound it and I [D]found it ran [E]away.[Am]
So I raced through the night
with a face [C]at my [G]feet,
like a god I would write,
All the melodies [F]were sweet,
and the women were white.
It was easy to [E]survive,
my life was [A]so [E]ali[D]ve.
My [G]life [C]was[G] once a flag t[D]o me
And I [Am]waved it and be[D]haved
like I was [G]told.[C][G]
[D]My [G]life [C]was[G] once a drag[D] to me
And I [C]loudly, [D]and I proudly, lost con[E]trol[Am]
I was drawn by a dream
I was loved by [G]a lie,
every serf on the scene
Begged me [F]to buy.
But I slipped through the scheme
So lucky [E]to fail
My life was not for [D]sale.
My [G]life [C]is [G]now a myth t[D]o me
Like the drifter,
with his laughter in the [G]dawn.[C][G]
[D]My [G]life is now a [D]death to me
So I'll mold it and I'll hold
it till I'm [E]born[Am]
So I turned to the land
Where I'm so out [G]of place
Throw a curse on the plan
In return for [F]the grace
To know where I stand
Take everything I [E]own[F]
Take your tap from my [E]phone
And leave my [Am]life [D]alone
My [G]life alone.
[Cm][G]
