[Intro]
Em    C  D  x2

[Verse 1]
Em                                      Em
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
   Em                              Em
No silent prayer for faith departed
Em                      C                
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
G                         
You're gonna hear my voice
D                       
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus]
        Em  
It's my life
     C           
It's now or never
G             D           
I ain't gonna live forever
Em           C               D   
I just wanna live while I'm alive
         Em   
(It's my life)
                    C           G
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
  D            Em
I did it my way
             C               D   
I just wanna live while I'm alive
        Em  
It's my life
Em    C  D  x2

[Verse 2]
Em                                         Em
This is for the ones who stood their ground
    Em                                  Em
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
  Em                            C         
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
G                    
Luck ain't even lucky
D                          
Got to make your own breaks

It's my life
     C           
It's now or never
G             D           
I ain't gonna live forever
Em           C               D   
I just wanna live while I'm alive
         Em   
(It's my life)
                    C           G
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
  D            Em
I did it my way
             C               D   
I just wanna live while I'm alive
