[F#m] You know I live on the [B] edge, time is [E] on my side
[F#m] All the doors [F#] to my life are open [D] wide
[F#m] Listen on, I told you, keep on turning [F#] round
I will live for the proof, until the sun goes down
Living it up, living it up, I can't be let
Living it up, bit of crazy ain't no shut-in
Living it up, living it up, I can't be let
Living it up, [F#m] like a four-word motion
[A] I [D] don't wanna talk about [E] it, I don't wanna make it a hoax
I said I [E] don't know what I want, I don't know what I'm gonna do

I [B] saw the soul standing in a box
So tired, it took so long, she said, I need to love someone
[Em] Before they drop the key and the bomb
[F#m] There's a [C#] girl on the block, [B] making eyes at [F#] me
At her head on the block, it's a sight to see
But I can't fight her, scared if she flips up [Bm] around
[F#m] I demand [F#] for the proof, until the sun goes down
Living it up, living it up, I can't be let
Living it up, bit of false emotion
Living it up, [Bm] living it up, I [F#m] can't be let
Living it up, like a [B] four-word motion
[E] So I'mma take a new one when I'm a baby
Talking to [B] the beat, I'm the [D] music I need
The [E] heart I'm gonna give you
Tell me something about the way that you move
I don't want no people staring, so shut the [B] f*** up
What my friend [D] is, is standing next to [E] you
