The Life Youve Lived

A The life you've lived... A You think now that you've seen the light D A The world's forgot the life you've lived E A And you can't understand why she's afraid of you A And though your change is plain to see D A It's not so easy to forgive E A She can't forget the many times you've been untrue E You find each sin that you did two-by-two D A You pay for one-by-one E You're asking for a love so good and true D E Now that you've had your fun A For years, you've taken all and now D A She can't believe that you can give E A You find it's hard to live down the life you've lived A The life you've lived makes people wonder D A If the life you're living now E A Is just a pastime or if this time, you're sincere A You thought she'd take you back so gladly D A But in sorrow, you find now E A That you're untrusted by the one you hold most dear E If you could live your life all over D A You'd have cherished every vow E You'd have placed no one above her D E You'd live like you're living now A A few short days cannot erase D A A lifetime that's been spent in sin E A You find it's hard to live down the life you've lived ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! 1956 studio version ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C G7 C C You think now that you've seen the light F C The world's forgot the life you've lived G7 C And you can't understand why she's afraid of you C And though your change is plain to see F C It's not so easy to forgive G7 C She can't forget the many times you've been untrue G7 You find each sin that you did two-by-two F C You pay for one-by-one G7 You're asking for a love so good and true F G7 Now that you've had your fun C For years, you've taken all and now F C She can't believe that you can give G7 C You find it's hard to live down the life you've lived C G7 C C The life you've lived makes people wonder F C If the life you're living now G7 C Is just a pastime or if this time, you're sincere C You thought she'd take you back so gladly F C But in sorrow, you find now G7 C That you're untrusted by the one you hold most dear G7 If you could live your life all over F C You'd have cherished every vow G7 You'd have placed no one above her F G7 You'd live like you're living now C A few short days cannot erase G7 C A lifetime that's been spent in sin G7 C You find it's hard to live down the life you've lived ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! 1958 demo version ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A N.C.
