 It's my (C5) life 
 It's (G#5) now or never 
 (Eb5) I ain't gonna (Bb5) live forever 
 (C5) I just wanna (G#5) live when I'm (Bb5) alive 
 (PLAY RIFF A) It's my (C5) life 
 My heart is like an (G#5) open highway 
 (Eb5) Like Frankie said, I (Bb5) did it my way 
 (C5) I just wanna (G#5) live when I'm (Bb5) alive 
 It's (PLAY RIFF A) my

 Better stand tall when it's calling you out 
 Don't make no break, baby don't back down (C5 C5) 

 It's my (C5) life 
 It's (G#5) now or never 
 (Eb5) I ain't gonna (Bb5) live forever 
 (C5) I just wanna (G#5) live when I'm (Bb5) alive 
 (B note only, 7th fret, 6th string) It's my (C5) life 
 My heart is like an (G#5) open highway 
 (Eb5) Like Frankie said, I (Bb5) did it my way 
 (C5) I just wanna (G#5) live when I'm (Bb5) alive 
 It's (PLAY RIFF A) my (C5) life 


 And it's (G#5) now or never 
 (Eb5) I ain't gonna (Bb5) live forever 
 (C5) I just wanna (G#5) live when I'm (Bb5) alive 
 (B note only, 7th fret, 6th string) It's my (C5) life 
 My heart is like an (G#5) open highway 
 (Eb5) Like Frankie said, I (Bb5) did it my way 
 (C5) I just wanna (G#5) live when I'm (Bb5) alive 
 'Cause it's (PLAY RIFF A) my (C5) life
