Something inside the cards
I know is right
Don't want to live
Somebody elses life
This is what I want to be
And this is what I give to you
Because I get it free
She smiles while I do my time
I could die for you
Oh this life I choose
I'm here to be your only go-between
To tell you of the sights
These eyes have seen
What I really want to do is
Turn it into motion
Beauty that I can't abuse
You know that I'd use my senses to
You can see that
It's only everywhere
I'd take it all and then
I'd find a way to share
Come along and go
Along with me
Wander with me yo
It's all for free
I could die for you
Whatchu wanna do
Oh this life I choose
Come again and tell me
Where you want to go
What it means for me
To be with you alone
Close the door and
No one has to know
How we are
Come along and go
Along with me
Wander with me yo
It's all for free
I could die for you
Whatchu want to do
Oh this life I choose

To tell you of the sights
These eyes have seen
What I really want to do is
Turn it into motion
Beauty that I can't abuse
You know that I'd use my senses to
C#
You can see that
A
It's only everywhere
C#
I'd take it all and then
A
I'd find a way to share
[Chorus 2]
E
Come along and go
D
Along with me
E
Wander with me yo
D
It's all for free
[Chorus 1]
A E D
I could die for you
(D)
Whatchu wanna do
A E D
Oh this life I choose
[Bridge]
Fm7
Come again and tell me
Where you want to go
C#
What it means for me
To be with you alone
A
Close the door and
No one has to know
Bm7 E
How we are
[Chorus 2]
E
Come along and go
D
Along with me
E
Wander with me yo
D
It's all for free
[Chorus 1]
A E D
I could die for you
(D)
Whatchu wanna do
A E D
Oh this life I choose
