                               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By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads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.
