Lyrics
Way to live Twiddle around B è A In my life I’ve found a way to live In my life I’ve found a way B F# Take a look around A E All the dreams you’ve found But don’t ever get ground down by the weight Take a look inside Deep beneath your pride Don’t pretend you’re wide-eyed to your fate In my life I’ve found a way to live In my life I’ve found a way
