People say, _ [Bb] look at the money they save, [Ab] but I _ don't believe that life's that way.
_ _ _ [C] _
An old man [Bb] once looked me in the eye, [Ab] _ _
_ _ he seemed to sigh, he _ _ _ [C] _
_ seemed to sigh, don't let life [Bb] _ pass you by.
No, no, [Ab] no, no, no, no. _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ He seemed to say, he wanted me to run. _
[Ab] The old man was once a boy, and _ he's [Bb] only a wall.
_ _ Because it's a life, _ _ but it's taken. _ _
And it [C] ain't no, _ ain't no [Bb] mistaking. _
Well, it's a [Gm] life, [C] _ _ _
it's my [Bb] life, _ life [Ab] for the taking. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I can remember when [Bb] I was just a little kid, _ _ _ big bushes to beat me up a bit. _
_ [Cm] _ But I learned young [Bb] that I couldn't cry.
[Ab] My _ mama wasn't gonna be by my side, she said [C] it's a life, _ _ _ life for the [Bb] taking. _
_ And it [C] ain't no, _ ain't no [Bb] mistaking. _
_ Well, it's a [C] life, _ _ it's my [Bb] life, _ life for [Ab] the taking. _
[Ab] Gotta [Fm] take it, take it, take it, take it.
