Capo 4th fret
There is probably a G7 after each G. I play a G7. It may just be to suit my
voice.
Wo ah wo ah
C
I am just a working legend and it takes up all my nights
C……………………………………………………………
I've given up on happy endings but not without a fight
C……….F…………………………..G………………C…
I've propped myself up on jagged edges gone into a dark abyss
C………………………………………………………………………
And I lived for love I cried for love I died for love and lived
C……..F……………………………..G………………….C…
Yes I lived for love I cried for love I died for love and lived
C…….F……………………………….G………………….C..
I have loved them with abandon I've been careless with my life
C……………………………………………………………………..
I had to lose more than one heartache if I was to survive
C………F……………………………………G………..C….
But there's a part of me beside you that has learned how to forgive
C……………………………………………………………………………
And I lived for love I cried for love I died for love and lived
C……..F……………………………..G………………….C….
Yes I lived for love I cried for love I died for love and lived
C…….F………………………………G………………….C…
Oh oh oh oh oh I died for love and I'm still here
F…G..Am..G..F……………G……………..…C….C7
Here's the truth pass it on you gotta get thru' before you're done
C7…………F……………G………………Am………………G..F…
I cried for love aw ow aw ow
F………….G…….C…………
Same chords as previous verses
So for all of you who've lost in love to all who have been burned
A little loving spent is a lot of living earned
So don't you be afraid to love don't be afraid to give
Cause first you live for love you cry for love you die for and live
Yes I lived for love I cried for love I died for love and lived
Oh I lived for love I cried for love oh I died for love and lived
I'm still here, here I am
