Dm
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
         C                                            G
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Dm
Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat 
C                                                       G
But there's no other way to get my life on easy street
Dm
Someone else telling you what you're living for
C                                                   G
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more
Dm
The only sound you hear is a closing door
C                                                   G
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
Dm
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
C                                                    G
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind
Dm
There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
C                                           G
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy

[Chorus]
Dm                               G
I think my life is passing me by
Dm                               G
I think my life is passing me by

[Verse 2]
Dm
Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing
C                                                         G
If you give it away and you're looking for something back
Dm
Wake up every morning when there's nothing there
C                                      G
No reason to die but no reason to care                                        
Dm
Someone else telling you what you're living for
C                                                  G
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
Dm
The only sound you hear is a closing door
C                                                   G
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war                            
Dm
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
C                                                     G
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Dm
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
C                                                     G
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind

[Chorus]
Dm                               G
I think my life is passing me by
Dm                               G
I think my life is passing me by
