Edgar Winter - Dying To Live

      [Verse]
 G   G/F#      Em                    G7/D         C/G     B7 
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
         Em                G7/D                C/G     B7 
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
          Em                G7/D            
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
            Am     Am7        D               G/C 
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

[Chorus]
 G   A  B  C/G        G                 Am7       G 
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
        D7/F#       Em                   Am7        D/C 
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
          G         G7/A             C     C/G  B  Em       
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
          C/G      G                Am7       G 
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

[Verse]
 G   G/F#      Em                    G7/D         C/G     B7 
Bey, you know some people say that values are subjective
         Em                G7/D                C/G     B7 
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
          Em                G7/D            
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
            Am     Am7        D               G/C 
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead

[Chorus] 
 G   A  B  C/G        G                 Am7       G 
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
        D7/F#       Em                   Am7        D/C 
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
          G         G7/A             C     C/G  B  Em       
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
          C/G      G                Am7       G 
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

[Verse]
 G   G/F#      Em                    G7/D         C/G     B7 
Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion
         Em                G7/D                C/G     B7 
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
          Em                G7/D            
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
            Am     Am7        D               G/C 
But reality will make my dreams come true

[Chorus]
 G   A  B  C/G        G                 Am7       G 
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
        D7/F#       Em                   Am7        D/C 
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
          G         G7/A             C     C/G  B  Em 
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
          C/G      G                Am7       G 
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die.
