Dying to Live by Edgar Winter

[Verse]     Em               G7         C        B7
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
            Am7        D               G    /
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
 
[Chorus]       C         G             Am7       G
Why   am  I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
  D7         Em         Am7        D7
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
                       G             C           B7          Em
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
                       C            G             Am7       G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
 
[Verse]     Em               G7         C        B7
Bey, you know some people say that values are subjective
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
            Am7        D               G    /
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead
 
[Chorus]
 
[Verse]   Em               G7         C        B7
Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
But reality will make my dreams come true
 
[Chorus]       C         G             Am7       G
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
  D7         Em         Am7        D7
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
                       G             C           B7          Em
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
                       C            G             Am7       G
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die.
