Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well you know,  I was always the first  to arrive at the party,
 Ooh...  and the last  to leave the scene of the crime.
 Well it started  with a couple of beers,
 And it went  I don't know how many years,
 Like a runaway  train headed  for the end of the line.  0:47
 Well I finally  got around to admit  that I might have a problem.
 But I thought  it was just too damn big  of a mountain to climb.
 Well I got  down on my knees and said "Hey!
 I just  can't go on living this way!"
 Guess I have  to learn to live my life  one day at a time.  1:19
Oh yeah! One  day at a time!
Oh yeah! One  day at a time!  1:35
 Guitar Solo 2:06
 Bridge, repeated 2:23
 Well I finally  got around to admit  that I was a problem.
 When I used  to put the blame on everybody's  shoulders but mine.
 All the friends  I used to run with are gone,
 Lord, I hadn't  planned on livin' this long.
 But I finally  learned to live my life  one day at a time!  2:54
 It was something  I was too blind to see,
 I got help  from something greater than me...
 And today  I learned to live my life  one day at a time!  3:18
