1. This ain't a song for the broken-hearted,
        a                     G       F        -  a - F - E
    no silent prayer for the faith-departed.
    a                        G            F
    I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd,
                  d                 
    you're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud !

     F   G   a          F             C                 G
    It's my life, it's now or never,     I ain't gonna live forever.
a                   F               G
    I just want to live while I'm alive.
     G    F  a                         F
    It's my life, my heart is like an open highway,
C                         G
    like Frankie said, I did it my way.
a                 F               G           F   G   a   -F-E a-F-E
    I just wanna live while I'm alive.     + It's my life !

         a                  G            F        - a - F - E
    for Tommy and Gina who never backed down.
       a                            G     F
    Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake,
     d                                           
    luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks.

+ REFRAIN  + It's my life!

     a                              G           F
    Better stand tall when they're calling you out,
           a                        G          F
    don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down ! 

                   F    G  a
+ REFRAIN (x2)   +It's my life !
