C Cmaj7 I let you escape, C7 F Slip through my fingers C Cmaj7 We made our mistakes, C7 F But memories linger C Cmaj7 Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face C7 F But I'm standing here alone in the wonder C Cmaj7 What I really needed, what made me run away? C7 F Was it just somebody's spell I was under Chorus: Am F We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's C/E flying blind Dm G And life's too short to be living without you C Cmaj7 Life's too short C7 F Life's too short You laughed at my jokes, broke down my defenses It's like my heart just awoke, and brought back my senses I've got my motor running, it's all that I can do Cause every road I'm taking, is leading back to you Chorus: We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind And life's too short to be living without you And life's too short And life's too short F I give in I can't go it alone, yeah I'm done now I know that you're gone C Dm G I need someone to save me and life's too short, too short I give in I can't go it alone Life's too short to be living without you Life's too short I give in I can't go it alone Life's too short can't be living without you Life's too short I give in I can't go it alone I can live without you Life's too short I give in I can't go it alone Life's too short to be living without you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Cmaj7  C7  Dm  E  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
