The story of my life  

Verse 1

High School seemed like such a blur
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
And in class I dreamed all day 'bout a rock & roll
weekend.  

Verse 2

And the girl in the front of the room
So close yet so far you know she never seemed to notice
That this silly schoolboy crush wasn't just pretend
Ahhh ahh ah-ahhh

Chorus

Life goes by so fast
you only wanna do whatcha think is right.
Close your eyes and its past.
Story of my liiiiiiiiiife. 
Story of my life  
Story of my life  
Story of my life  

Verse 3

Well I went down to the old neighborhood
the faces had all changed there's no one there left to talk to
and the pool hall I loved as a kid
is now a 7/11.  

Verse 4

Well I went downtown to look for a job
I had no training no experience to speak of
and I looked at the holes in my jeans and turned and headed
back.  

Chorus

Life goes by so fast
you only wanna do whatcha think is right.
Close your eyes and its past.
Story of my liiiiiiiiiife. 
Story of my life  
Story of my life  
Story of my life  

Solo

G C D x12

Verse 5

Good time come and good times go.
I only wish the good times would last a little longer.
And I think about the good times we had
and why they had to end...........  

Verse 6

So I sit at the edge of my bed
I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song.
Thinking about what you're doing now
and when your coming back.  

Chorus

Life goes by so fast
you only wanna do whatcha think is right.
Close your eyes and its past.
Story of my liiiiiiiiiife. 

Outro
