D# I read your letter from before, F C you've been having so much fun F D# And is it possible you're just F C telling me to draw me in F D# There's an array of douchebags F C lining up to play their stupid parts F D# And did you ever pause before you F gave your love away Chorus: C Gm And this is my life D# F But this is my so-called life C Gm But this is my life D# F And this is my only life And when you came to me that summer, you were just a shell But you were holding close to mother, she was ashen with the strain And there was miles to go yet, miles to build that sister loving bond And then I figured that the music set your soul ablaze Chorus: (And this is my life) And it's probably not surprising that you're burning through the days (And this is my life) And if I had a second encore, I would probably do the same (And this is my life) And if the intimacy ever stops (This is my so-called life) I'll miss your stories, miss your letters (This is my so-called life, and this is my life) Ever awkward fumble should be framed (This is my only life) D#maj7 A# Strange days D#maj7 A# Poison characters, my particular haze G#maj7 Please send Enjoy the fervor of your love life, 'cause it doesn't last And with a suddenness that is cruel, everything can go to hell But then you find a new path, leave the old path, leave the games behind And on a morning climb, you see the grime and feel amazed Chorus: I know you felt you gave your best, but it was never going to do There's always going to be a younger hungry idol coming through I know it wasn't thrilling, just like living You and me could talk like kissing Every conversation was divine And this is my life This is my so-called life This is my life And this is my only life And this is my life This is my so-called life This is my life And this is my only life And this is my life This is my so-called life This is my life And this is my only life And this is my life This is my so-called life This is my life And this is my only life You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# C D# D#maj7 F G#maj7 Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
