What You Live By

Em G D B (I recommend whistling the guitar melody for the intro, if you're playing this solo acoustic) Em G Meet me up on 99, beneath the Marco Polo sign Em A I'll be the one with a box of wine and a hundred dollar car Em We could talk about the lives we've led G And count the reasons we're not dead Em A Or maybe we could talk instead about the ways in which we are G B Always nothing or too much to say G B Only so many sides of the record to play G B And the song that got stuck in my head said Em D C B You die by what you live by Em D C B You will die by what you live by Em D C B A You will die by what you live by every time (Note that the second verse and prechorus use different progressions from the first ones) Em Like carnivores to carnal pleasures G So were we to desperate measures D Em Melting into stagnant puddles, beat down by the sun Em I went to school, I didn't stay G D Spoke right up when I had nothing good to say B (and I said it to anyone who would listen) G B D Lay me down in the bed that I made C Starved for sleep by the shrill serenade B Singing over and over Em D C B You die by what you live by Em D C B You will die by what you live by Em D C B A You will die by what you live by every time Em D C B You die by what you live by Em D C B You will die by what you live by Em D C B A You will die by what you live by every time Em
