1. It’s a hurried up life,
A -
A7 - A
but
that’s the life I chose.
A - A7 - A
No use asking me to slowdown,
A - A7
- A
cos I aint got nothing to
lose.
A - A7 - A
But time and time is all I've
got,
A - A7 - A
you
know I was born standing up with a guitar in my hand.
A - A7 - A
I’m not trying to come on like
A - A7 -
A
but

A - D
When we come into a new town, everybodys
there.
A - D A - D
When we play our music hands
are in the air.
A - D A - D
When the music’s over you
wonder where we are.
A - D A - D
I’m standing in the silence
with my old guitar.

Rock
is my life, this is my song.

2. It’s a crying shame
A - A7 - A
but
some of us have not survived.
A - A7 - A
No use in asking how it
happened,
A - A7 - A
but very
few are left alive,
A - A7 - A
I just wanna
keep on making music,
A - A7 - A
we
just wanna keep on keeping on.
A - A7 - A
You’re only as good as your
last record,
A - A7 - A
I know that someday you’ll be
gone.
