This is the entire version of this song, solo and all.
It is almost exactly correct, except maybe for some timing errors,
but if you find anything, be sure to e-mail it to me.

pm: Palm-Mute
x : Percussive scraping sound done by lightly pressing on the strings
    indicated with the left hand, and striking them with the pick in
    your right hand.

Lyrics:

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted 
No silent prayer for the faith-departed 
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd 
You're gonna hear my voice 
When I shout it out loud 

It's my life 
It's now or never 
I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way 
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life 

This is for the ones who stood their ground 
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down 
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake 
Luck ain't even lucky 
Got to make your own breaks 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
'Cause it's my life 

Better stand tall when they're calling you out 
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way 
I just want to live while I'm alive 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
It's my life 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said I did it my way 
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life! 

Thats about it, I hope I have fulfilled your musical needs, ROCK ON!
