Story of my liiiiiiiiife
[Verse 1]
G C D
Well high school seemed like such a blur.
G C D
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
G C D
and in class I dreamed all day
G C D
'bout a rock 'n' roll weekend. (ooh ooh)
[Verse 2]
G C D
And the girl in the front of the room
G C D
So close yet so far y'know she never seemed to notice
G C D
That this silly schoolboy crush
G C D
Wasn't just pretend. (ooh ooh)
[Chorus]
G C D
Life goes by so fast.
G C D
You only wanna do what you think is right.
G C D
Close your eyes and it's past.
G C D

G C D

G C D
Story of my liiiiiiiiife
[Verse 3]
G C D
And I went down my old neighborhood.
G C D
The faces have all changed, no one there left to talk to
G C D
And the pool hall I loved as a kid
G C D
Is now a Seven Eleven. (ooh ooh)
[Verse 4]
G C D
And I went downtown to look for a job.
G C D
I had no training, no experience to speak of
G C D
And I looked at the holes in my jeans
G C D
And turned and headed back. (ooh ooh)
[Chorus]
G C D
Life goes by so fast.
G C D
You only wanna do what you think is right.
G C D
Close your eyes and it's past.

[Solo]
[Verse 5]
G C D
Yeah and good times come and good times go.
G C D
I only wish the good times would last a little longer.
G C D
And I think about the good times we had
G C D
And why they had to end. (ooh ooh)
[Verse 6]
G C D
So I sit at the edge of my bed.
G C D
I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song
G C D
Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now
G C D
And when you're comin' back. (ooh ooh)
[Chorus]
G C D
Life goes by so fast.
G C D
You only wanna do what you think is right.
G C D
Close your eyes and it's past.
