Baby here I am again, kicking dust in the canyon wind 
 G        Bm      C           G Bm C
Waiting for that sun to go down 
 G               Bm     C    G               Bm     C
Made it up Mulholland Drive, hell-bent on getting high

High above the lights of town

For 30 days and 30 nights, I've been putting up a real good fight 
 G           Bm     C               G Bm C
There were times I thought you'd win 
 G            Bm   C    G                 Bm     C                  
It's so easy to forget the bitter taste morning left 
 G               Bm     C           G         
Swore I wouldn't go back there again

When it comes to you, oh the damage I could do

It's always your favorite sins that do you in

It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape 
           C               D     G 
And that I've been waking up alone 
  G                        Em      D 
Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling 
       C              D      G
That you ain't ever coming home 
        Em        D          C              G
But today, the tears ain't gonna hit the floor 
                                       Em         D

Beer's too cold to be thinking 'bout you 
        C                        G
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away

The feel of the wind on my face 
 G                           Em            D
I was stuck in a habit of wondering what happened 
      C           D        G
Too busy taking all the blame 
         Em       D               C              G
Got a drink, or two, that's as fool proof a remedy

It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl

And how'd I let you get away

But the lying in bed all stuck in my head

G  
I've been up to my neck  
Working six days a week       
Wearin' holes in the soles  
Of the shoes on my feet 
        C  
Been dreamin' of gettin' away 
               G  
Since I don't know

Ain't no better time than now 
        D  
For Mexico

Blues, what blues? Hey, I forgot 'em 
     C  
The sun and the sand 
       D  
And a drink in my hand 
 G  
With no bottom 
     C         D            G  
No shoes, no shirt, and no problems 
No problems 

Want a towel on a chair  
And the sand by the sea  
Wanna look through my shades  
And see you there with me 
       C  
Wanna soak up life for a while 
             G  
In laid-back mode 
    C  
No boss, no clock, no stress, 
           D  
No dress code

Well I'm living in fast forward
A hillbilly rock star out of control

Now I need to rewind real slow

Yeah I need to rewind real slow
Yeah I still got some miles to Go

I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach

G D Em C
 
Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate
Spilled hot coffee, down the front of my jeans
It's work, work, pay the rent, money and my time's spent
Not a minute left for me to be me

Been going like nothing can wait
I gotta get my priorities straight

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little, love a lot

Friday night, here we go, Do a little do-si-do
Kick back, have a laugh, catch my breath
Tell the band slow it down, there she is, think I found
Maybe Ms. Wonderful, I haven't met yet

It just hit me like a wrecking ball
She's giving me a wake up call

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little, love a lot

Step back, smell the rose
Feel the sand between your toes
Unplug, unwind
Step out in the sunshine

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
Live a little

I need to live a little, have some fun
Take some time, waste it on number one
Take the girl, get a map and pick any old dot
Live a little, we need to live a little, love a lot
