Story behind the song
A song about my father-in-law
Lyrics
How Am I Gonna Live
G Bm7
I lost my life about a year ago
G C
Couldn’t breathe when her casket shut
Am
Not gonna share my heart, again
Em7
Or leave tender mark
G
For what
G Bm7
I worked 49 years for the same damn firm
G C
I knew just who and what I was
Am
But I’m just tired now and
Em7
Not needed anyhow
G
For what
G F# B Am7
I could live a hundred lives from this day on
B C D
From this day on, be strong
G D
I could live, I could try
C Bm Cadd9
But how am I gonna live without my life
Am Am G
Tell me how am I gonna live without my life
G Bm7
My daughter thinks she knows what’s wrong with me
G C
That’s why I’m here spilling my guts
Am
Tell me one thing doc, huh
Em7
Why you lookin at the clock
G
For what
G F# B Am7
I could live a hundred lives from this day on
B C D
From this day on, be strong
G D
I could live, I could try
C Bm Cadd 9
But how am I gonna live without my life
Am Am G
Tell me how am I gonna live without my life
BRIDGE
Bm
I lost myself
Em
In her bright blue eyes
C
In 1955
Am B G
How am I gonna live without my life
