Dying to Live
STFU Lorax
Capo 3
G D Em C
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.
G D Em C
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
G D Em C
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
C D G
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
C G Em G
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
C G Em D
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
C G Em G
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
C G Em G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
G D Em C
Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective,
G D Em C
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said.
G D Em C
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.
C D G
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.
C G Em G
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
C G Em D
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
C G Em G
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
C G Em G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
G D Em C
Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion.
G D Em C
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
G D Em C
You know I used to live my life as an illusion,
C D G
But reality will make my dreams come true.
C G Em G
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
C G Em D
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
C G Em G
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
C G Em G
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die.
