Living For A Song Chords

(ver. 1)
Jamey Johnson
- Verse 1

E           B                C#m              B
I have slept on satin sheets, dined with kings on wine so sweet,
A            E                 A             B
Made my bed out in the street, living for a song.
E                 B            C#m                 B
I spent a lifetime on the road, like desperadoes chasing gold,
A                E                   A            G#7
I've been bought and i've been sold, living for a song.


- Chorus

C#m                  B      B7                E          A
Life's so full of melodies, with words that rhyme and harmonies,
Am                       E          A       B      E
Until I write mine, I'll always be, living for a song.


- Verse 2 (Spoken)

E                      B       C#m                                    B
I came to town a long time ago, and it's really been good to me as you all know,
A                                E
But all of us rhyme runners and word hunters have some things that we've been through,
A                       B
So I wrote this song, hoping I could tell some of them to you.


- Verse 3 (Sung)

E               B              C#m             B
I have slept on life's highway, muddy tears painting my face,
A               E                A             B
A rhyme or two was a big payday, living for a song.
E            B               C#m                B
Using words for my lifeline, forsaking all just for a rhyme,
A                 E                  A            G#7
Building steps I know I can't climb, living for a song.


- Chorus

C#m                  B      B7                E          A
Life's so full of melodies, with words that rhyme and harmonies,
Am                   E              A       B      E
Until I write mine, I'll always be, living for a song.
     A                  E          A    B
'Til I write mine, I'll always be, living for a song.
