[Verse 1]
C                               Am             
 Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself,
C                                             Bb
 I feel like I'm just sleep walkin' through my life,
C                            Am
 It's like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion,
              C                       Bb
 But still somehow slowly goin' numb inside,
F                      G
 I don't like who I'm becommin',
                        Bb
 I know I've gotta to do somethin',
                            G#  G 
 Before my life passes right bye-ye


[Chorus]
          C
 I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
Bb
 Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin',
F
 Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Bb
 Fight with the devil and go down swingin',
C
 Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Bb
 Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
F                                      G#  Bb
 Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
        C     Bb
 I wanna live


[Verse 2]
C                        Am
 Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart,
C                       Bb
 I hardly do anything at all,
C                                 Am
 I've spent my whole life building up this Ivory tower,
             C                             Bb
 Now that I'm in it I keep wishin' it would fall,
F                          G
 So I can feel the ground beneath me,
                          Bb
 Really taste this air I'm breathin',
                  G#   G
 And know that I'm ali--ive,


[Chorus]
          C
 I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
Bb
 Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin',
F
 Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Bb
 Fight with the devil and go down swingin',
C
 Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Bb
 Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
F                                      G#  Bb
 Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,
        G#  Bb          G#  Bb   C       
 I wanna li--ve, I wanna li--ve, 


[Bridge]
C                                  Am
 Somethin' deep inside keeps sayin' life is like a vapor,
     C                              G#
 It's gone in just a twinklin' of an eye,


[Chorus]
          C
 I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
Bb
 Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin',
F
 Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Bb
 Fight with the devil and go down swingin',
C
 Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Bb
 Love like I ain't afraid to be alone,
F                                      G#   Bb
 Take everything that this world has to gi--ive,


[Tag]
        G#                      G
 I wanna take every breath I can get
        C Bb F    Bb   C Bb F Bb A C
 I wanna li---ve   yea,
