verse 1 :

F Am
facing towards the heavens i fell into a pitch black .
F Am
i’m moments from landing and i’m shaking like a heart attack .
F Am
is the time , can i turn back . i’ve made mistakes in the past .
F Am G ( F )
need a chance , can’t take it back . wish i could set things right tonight .

chorus :

F Am G Dm
live , i wanna live inspired .
F Am G Dm
die , i wanna die for something
F Am G Dm
higher than myself . live and die for anyone else .
F Am G Dm F Am
the more i live i see this life’s not about me .

verse 2 :

F Am
all i know spins out of control . wonder what’s next for heart and soul .
F Am
nothing i earned can save me now hearing one day be my final hour .
F Am
is the time , can i turn back . i’ve made mistakes in the past .
F Am G ( F )
need a chance , can’t take it back . wish i could set things right tonight .

chorus :

F Am G Dm
live , i wanna live inspired .
F Am G Dm
die , i wanna die for something
F Am G Dm
higher than myself . live and die for anyone else .
F Am G Dm F Em ( Dm )
the more i live i see this life’s not about me .

bridge :

Dm F
don’t wanna leave this world knowing i preach in vain .
Am G Em
looked out for myself , so sorry so ashamed .
Dm F
don’t wanna leave this life knowing i barely tried
Am G Dm G
chased all my dreams that i can’t weigh on the inside .

F , Am , G , Dm ,
F , Am , G , Dm

chorus :
F Am G Dm
live , i wanna live on fire .
F Am G Dm
die , i wanna burn out brighter .
F Am G Dm
brighter than the northern lights . wanna live to feel the daylight .
F Am G Dm F
the more i live i see that this life’s not about me .

that’s it!
