The Joys Of Living

[Verse]

A          C#m                       F#m
You took advice from a stranger in a stereo
    Bm                     E
You follow your heart, you break a heart
    D            Dm
But please don't feel you have to
A              C#m               F#m
'Cause time is ours to kill once we find the joys of
Bm               E               D           Dm
Living the lives we were born to live in

[Chorus]

           F#m
A division of the heart and mind
     D                   A                               E
Left dry of explanation, drifting between distance and a lie
    F#m                          D
And all of a sudden you begin to realize
                     A                       E
That there are often several different angles to certain things in life

[Verse]

A                                                                           F#m E
The temptations of another way will be forced upon themselves, they hear out
A                                                         F#m E
The disfigure of a past age will not be tamed, I hear out

[Chorus]

               A                      C#m           F#m
And I chose to deal with it through a self-centered perspective
         Bm              E                D           Dm
It's the easiest way but believe me, it's for the best
A             C#m            F#m                Bm         E         D     Dm
Now sometimes I feel I'm not trying hard enough; sometimes I try too hard
           F#
A division of the heart and mind.
     D                   A                               E
Left dry of explanation, drifting between distance and a lie.
    F#m                          D
And all of a sudden you begin to realize
                     A                           E
That there are often several different angles in life.
    F#m                        D
And all of a sudden I begin to realize
         A
That all along there was someone in there
E
Someone else I could have saved
