This Is My Life

[Em] [D] [Bm]

I[Bm] go down the b[D]eaten track  [Am]
Along the river with an [Em]empty bag  [Bm]
At the end she s[D]aid to me  [Am]
Why are you here with the [Em]autumn leaves?

'Cause this is my life, my fr[G]iend
And this is [Bm]my time to st[A]and
Now this is [Em]my life, my fr[G]iend
And I can't [Bm]be no one [A]else  [Bm]

I'm done, tipping [D]on my toes  [Am]
Strike an iron, and att[Em]ack my soul  [Bm]
Misty moon, you're g[D]onna see  [Am]
I've got your blues to get [Em]on my feet

'Cause this is my life, my fri[G]end
and this is [Bm]my time to st[A]and
Now this is [Em]my life, my fri[G]end
and I can't [Bm]be no one [A]else

[G]I don't wanna run, I don't wanna fight
[Em/D]I don't wanna hide, I just wanna stay fr[Bm]ee, to be m[A]e
[G]I don't wanna win, I don't wanna lose
[Em/D]I don't wanna play, I just wanna rem[Bm]ember, oh my n[A]ame

'Cause this is [Em]my life, my fri[G]end
and this is [Bm]my time to st[A]and, Oh

[Em]Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh  [G]     [Bm]         [A]

Now this is [Em]my life, my fri[G]end
and I can’t [Bm]be no one [A]else
'Cause this is [Em]my life, my fri[G]end
and I can't [Bm]be no one [A]else
Now this is [Em/D]my life, my fri[D]end
