Life for rent      (Listen to midi)    (Listen to sample)

 

      Am                                                                F

1. I haven’t really ever found a place that I call home,

      Am                                                             F

    I never stick around quite long enough to make it.

        Am                                                  F

    I apologise that once again I’m not in love,

                                Am                                                  F

    but it’s not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking.

                     Dm                     G

    It’s just a thought, only a thought.

 

                C - G            F                C      G           F     - G

But if my li…...fe is for rent, and I don’t learn to buy,

                C                     G               F    - G

well, I deserve nothing more than I get,

                        C - G                 F

'cos nothing I ha….ve is truly mine.

 

          Am                                                                      F

2. I’ve always thought that I would love to live by the sea,

        Am                                                      F

    to travel the world alone and live more simply.

              Am                                                   F

    I have no idea what’s happened to that dream,

                        Am                                     F

    'cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me.

                     Dm                    G
    It’s just a thought, only a thought.       + CHORUS (2x)

 

                       C             G              Dm            G

    While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down,

                C                      G          Dm            G

    while I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try.

                          Dm            G

    Well, how can I say I’m alive.      + CHORUS (2x)

 

                             C - G               F

    'Cos nothing I ha…ve is truly mine.    (3x)
