    New Guy In Town

    I'm Jazzy and I live in The United Arab Emirates. This is my first post. So, lets all hope to work and help each other out.

    Here are the chords for Its my Life. I hope it satisfies you. The original song is in Cm. I have changed it to Am for singing purpose.

    Am G F - Am - F - E
    This ain't a song for the broken-hearted,
    Am G F - Am - F - E
    no silent prayer for the faith-departed.
    Am G F
    I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd,
    Am G F
    you're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud !
    G Am F C G
    It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever.
    Am F C - G
    I just want to live while I'm alive.
    Am F
    It's my life, my heart is like an open highway,
    C G
    like Frankie said, I did it my way.
    Am F G F G Am -F-E Am-F-E
    I just wanna live while I'm alive. + It's my life !
    Am G F - Am - F - E

    ----
    This is for the ones who stood their ground,
    Am G F - Am - F - E
    for Tommy and Gina who never backed down.
    Am G F
    Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake,
    Am G F
    luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks.
    F G Am - F - C - G Am - F - C - G
    + REFRAIN + It's my life!
    Am G F
    Better stand tall when they're calling you out,
    Am G F
    don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down !
    F G Am
    + REFRAIN (x2) +It's my life !
