[[ch]G[/ch]]Take a [[ch]Em7[/ch]]look at me and [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]tell me what you [[ch]D[/ch]]find
[[ch]G[/ch]][ch]A[/ch] drunken [[ch]Em7[/ch]]fool, a lazy [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]womanising [[ch]D[/ch]]swine
[[ch]G[/ch]]Well maybe [[ch]Em7[/ch]]so but you don't [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]know the life I've [[ch]D[/ch]]had
[[ch]G[/ch]]I've walked with [[ch]Em7[/ch]]kings and lost it [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]all but hey I'm [[ch]D[/ch]]glad

Cos when they [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]bring the news that [[ch]D[/ch]]i was drinking [[ch]G[/ch]]champagne When i [[ch]Em7[/ch]]died
And [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]my sixth wife will [[ch]D[/ch]]tell the gathered [[ch]G[/ch]]crowds now please Don't [[ch]Em7[/ch]]cry
You'll [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]see, my [[ch]D[/ch]]friend


[[ch]G[/ch]]I have [[ch]Em7[/ch]]lived each [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]moment of each [[ch]D[/ch]]day
[[ch]G[/ch]]I have [[ch]Em7[/ch]]lived, you [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]can't take that [[ch]D[/ch]]away
I've lived, I've [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]died
I've laughed and [[ch]D[/ch]]cried
I've cheated [[ch]G[/ch]]and i've been [[ch]Em7[/ch]]forgiven
but [[ch]Cadd9[/ch]]most of [[ch]D[/ch]]all i've lived


Cocktail shaker and book-maker are my friends                  
drink from dusk till dawn the laughter never ends 
You'll look at me and tell me that's no way to live
I reply now I gave it all I have to give

I have lived, I have died 
I have laughed and I have cried
I have loved, I have lost 
I've risked it all, I've payed the cost
Cos when they bring the news that i was drinking champagne when i died
And my sixth wife will tell the gathered crowds now please don't cry
You'll see, my friend

I have lived each moment of each day
I have lived, you can't take that away
I have lived each moment of each day
I have lived, they can't take that away
I've lived I've died
I've laughed and cried
Cheated and i've been forgiven
But most of all i have lived
