 x 2
   Ev'ryday's a lifetime with Fm out you
 Hard to get  through, since you've gone
 So I  do the only thing that I know  how to
 To get  by,  I'm livin' for the  night
   I've drawn all the curtains in this  old house
 To keep  the sun out, and off'a my face
   Friends stop by to check-in 'cause I  checked out
 I tell 'em I'm  fine,  I'm just livin' for the  night
 Well  I can't hide the tears I cry,
 The pain that came with your goodbye
 The  mem'ries that keep me out of  sight
   An' every night I venture out,
 Into those neon arms that hold  me tight
 I'm livin' for the  night
   I'm a whole lot easier to  talk to
 When I've  had a few, and settled down
   Whiskey kills the man you've turned me  into
 And I come  alive,  I'm livin' for the  night
 Well  I can't hide the tears I cry,
 The pain that came with your goodbye
 The  mem'ries that keep me out of  sight
   An' every night I venture out,
 Into those neon arms that hold  me tight
 I'm livin' for the  night
 I'm livin' for the  night  (STOP)
 (QUIETLY)
   Ev'ryday's a lifetime with  out you
