The Dutchess and the Duke: Living this Life


Intro:

G  C  G
(With the little riffs thrown in. See below)

G
If I tear all these walls down, I’m left alone with my memories 
            C                                    G
they’re all waiting for me in evenly measured up columns and rows.
G
If I walked in your black boots, if I walked in your black dress
      C                                                  G
would you hold me tight or just beat me for wearing your clothes?

Em
It’s a dangerous lesson
Am
to be learned in the dark.
    G                D
But it’s living this life
    G                C
yeah it’s living this life
    G                D
well it’s living this life
         C - Bm - Am - D - G
makes it hard.

G
Will I ever visit your tombstone, will I ever pay for my crimes
                 C                       G
and I ask you if I’m on fire why am I so cold?
G
Will I ever walk through the city, will I ever look without seeing your face
   C                                  G
On every stranger and every forgotten soul?

Em
I don’t know if I’ll see you,
Am
but I’ll be on my guard
           G           D
cause it’s living this life
          G           C
yeah it’s living this life
          G           D
well it’s living this life
         C - Bm - Am - D - G
makes it hard. (Repeat this line x4)

(Instrumental)

Em
When I finally crumble
Am
I won’t have to fall too far
           G           D
cause it’s living this life
          G           C
yeah it’s living this life
          G           D
well it’s living this life
         C - Bm - Am - D - G
makes it hard. (x4)
