this is the best song on the new GC CD!  this is just a transcription of the chords
used by the strings, guitar, and vocals...good for playing on acoustic guitar by yourself.  

all are best as power chords.

INTRO:

Bb - Ab - F# - Ab (2x)

VERSE 1:
          Bb    Ab           F#
I need an alarm system in my house
     Ab                   Bb       Ab
So I know when people are creeping about
                F#           Ab
These people are freakin' me out
Bb           Ab          F#           Ab
It's getting hectic everywhere that I go
                Bb         Ab
They won't just leave me alone
                    F#        Ab
There's things they all wanna know
Bb                     Ab
I'm paranoid about the people I meet
             F#
Why are they talkin' to me?
              Ab
And why can't anyone see

CHORUS:
             Bb        Ab      F#
I just wanna live
             Ab             Bb                    Ab    F#
Don't really care about the things that they say
             Ab              Bb             Ab     F#
Don't really care about what happens to me
Ab           Bb               Ab
I just wanna live (Just wanna live
            F#              Ab              Bb
Just wanna live just wanna live just wanna live)
           Bb                    Bb Eb C C#
Just wanna live just wanna live

VERSE 2:
       Bb   Ab                     F#             
I rock a lawsuit when I'm going to court
        Ab                    Bb
A white suit when I'm gettin' divorced
        Ab                  F#
A black suit at the funeral home
                Ab
And my birthday suit when I'm home alone
Bb             Ab
Talkin' on the phone
               F#                 Ab
Got an interview with the rolling stone
                Bb                  Ab
They're saying "Now you're rich and now you're famous
    F#                 Ab
And fake ass girls all know your names and
Bb
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
    Ab
Was your first hit aren't you ashamed?
F#
Of the life of the life
Ab
Of the life we're livin'

REPEAT CHORUS (at the end hit F four times instead of the whole "just wanna live" part)

VERSE 3: (Same chords)

Stop your messin' around boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said everyone of my teachers
Lookout, you better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way
We say where we're coming from
We've already seen
The wealth that this life can bring
Now we're expected everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

REPEAT CHORUS

End on F
