Verse:
  C#m                                      A (bar chord version) 
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
  C#m                             A (bar chord version)   
I never stick around long enough to make it
   C#m                             A (bar chord version)
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
            C#m                            A (bar chord version)
It's not as if I mind that heart ain't exactly breakin'
            Bb7           Bb7 (higher version bar chord) (ring)
It's just a thought, only a thought

Chorus
                                             
If my li-i-i-ife is for  rent and I don't learn to buy
                                             
   Well, I dese-erve nothing more than I get
                                 (ring)    
  Cuz nothin I ha-a-a-ave is truly mine
 
Verse
                                                (bar chord version)
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea,
                                    (bar chord version)
to travel the world alone and live more simply
                                 (bar chord version)
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
                                     (bar chord version)
'Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me.
           Bb7             Bb7 (higher version bar chord) (ring)  
Its just a thought, only a thought

Chorus
                                             
If my li-i-i-ife is for  rent and I don't learn to buy
                                           
   Well, I dese-erve nothing more than I get
                                     
  'Cos nothin I-i-i ha-a-a-ave is truly mine
                   
But if my life is for rent
                     
and I-i don't learn to buy-y-y
                               
 Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
                             
'Cos nothin I ha-a-a-ave is truly mine
                                         
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
                                        
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try-y
             B        Bb7 (higher version bar chord) (ring)
Well how can I say I'm alive.

(one strum down each chord and let ring)
                                             
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy.....
(Start normal struming)
                                
  Well I dese-erve nothing more than I get
                                      
  'Cos nothin I-i-i ha-a-a-ave is truly mine
                                            
If my life is for rent and I-i don't learn to buy-y-y
                                 
  Well I dese-erve nothing more than I get
                             
'Cos nothing I ha-a-ave is truly mine
