Verse 1
         G5                      D5                      A5
Well you know, I was always the first to arrive at the party,
    G5          D5                              A5
Ooh... and the last to leave the scene of the crime.
        G5                        B5
Well it started with a couple of beers,
       G5                          B5
And it went I don't know how many years,
       G5             A5                         D5
Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line.  0:47


Verse 2
       G5                       D5                       A5
Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem.
      G5                            D5                    A5
But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb.
       G5                              B5
Well I got down on my knees and said "Hey!
  G5                            B5
I just can't go on living this way!"
        G5                        A5                 D5
Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time.  1:19


Bridge

F5 - C5     G5 - C5  A5            D5
Oh  yeah!        One day at a time!  1:35

Verse 3
        G5                      D5                A5
Well I finally got around to admit that I was a problem.
       G5                        D5                         A5
When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine.
        G5                              B5
All the friends I used to run with are gone,
        G5                             B5
Lord, I hadn't planned on livin' this long.
      G5                          A5                 D5
But I finally learned to live my life one day at a time!  2:54


Coda
       G5                            B5
It was something I was too blind to see,
      G5                                B5
I got help from something greater than me...
      G5                        A5                 D5
And today I learned to live my life one day at a time!   3:18
