Intro: D, A, Bm, G

Verse 1:
   D
Im leaving tonight
Down the same dirt road
A
A million times
                            Bm
Ive driven just to get home
                         G
And I aint ever looking back
For nothing

D
Headed for the coast
Looking for the high life
A
Everybody knows
                            Bm
Its nothing but a good time
                         G
And I sold everything I had
For something
Em              G
I cant seem to find

Chorus:
D                                 A    
 So this is the life they talked about
                                Bm
And this is the I cant live without
                            G
When the real world crashes down
                        D
Oh if they could see me now
                                 A
When all the dreams are all your own
                        Bm
Turn to nightmares all alone
                               G
It hits you right between the eyes
            D     A
This is the life
             Bm
This is the life
    G
ohohoh


Verse 2:
D                                     
These four walls feel more like a prison
  A                  
Instead of pure highs
                          Bm
I couldnt wait to live in
                           G
So I just drink myself to sleep
Again

  D
I cant escape my mind
                       
This aint like a movie
    A
Its getting hard to hide
                    Bm
More its doin to me
                            G
I dont know how long I can keep
From going
Em             G
Crazy all the time

Chorus:
D                                 A    
 So this is the life they talked about
                               Bm
So this is the I cant live without
                            G
When the real world crashes down
                        D
Oh if they could see me now
                                 A
When all the dreams are all your own
                        Bm
Turn to nightmares all alone
                               G
It hits you right between the eyes
            D     A    Bm    G
This is the life


 

Bridge:
Bm
   Nothings ever what it seems
A
   Maybe that grass aint so green
Bm                      G
   Nothings ever out of reach

When youre seventeen


Chorus:
D                               A
  This is the life they talked about
                            Bm
This is the I cant live without
                             G
When the real world crashes down
                         D
Oh if they could see me now
                                 A
When all the dreams are all your own
                         Bm
Turn to nightmares all alone
                              G
It hits you right between the eyes
             D    
This is the life
   A
Ohhoh
             Bm
This is the life
  G
