The Life Lyrics & Chords By Gary Clark Jr.

I can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Yeah, go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Yea, go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Yea, go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by

But I wake up around 10 in the morning
Feeling crazy, feeling horny,
From the night before, 'cause I was up 'til 4 in the morning.
Just sing, so I take the long trip

And then I take out my song scripts
When I sit down to write, I always look to God to help me see the light
But I know, that I haven't been living right
And I know, that I can live by the night
But it's so hard for me to put it down
So hard for to pass up the crown

But it's been past down, I'm sitting on the thrown
Sometimes I feel that In this world, I've just been (thrown) it
Not been shown it, and I don't know, when to slow me down
I can't, go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting by

Yea, go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' by
Yea, go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' by
Yea, go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' by
Hey, but this is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life
They tell me it's the life, life, life, life, life, life, life
I'm living the life, life, life, life, life, life, life

So once again, I hit the hot spot with my SoCal friends
Then I , I hit the ATM, and then I realize that I ain't got no ends
And then I'm like, it was my kin, and my money's goin'
I'm standing at the bar, but the drinks quit flowin'
Strapped for cash, standing on the block, drunk as hell trying to avoid the damn cops
And this is how it is sometimes when you fall of track

Like when you requestress (?) and you tryin' to run it back
But sometimes the stress got you deep impact
Make it so hard for you not to look back
Regretting things that you did in the past
Wake up in the morning tell myself that it won't last
But I, tend to get another glass, and I
Start to act like an ass, but I

I can't go on like this, knowing that I'm just gettin' by
Yeah, go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting by
Yea, go on like this, knowing that I'm just getting' by
Yea, go on like this, knowin' that I'm just getting' by
Hey, but this is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life
This is the life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
The life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
Life, life, life,
This is the life, I've got the life
The life, take advantage of the life
Take advantage of the life
Hey, this is the life
This is the life, life, life, life......life
