[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Forgive me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I want to say
A message that I hope will reach
People who are throwin' life away
I [Dm]call it my philosophy
That is why I pass it on to you
Be[Am]cause it works so well for me
[C#m]It helps me [E]get away from strife
Hope you listen carefully
[G]The[Dm]y say the truth will make you free
And [Am]that's the way you wanna be
'Cause, [Dm]brother[D], this is your [Am]life

[Verse 2]
As long as you're [Am]livin'
Always remember
Time is for spendin'
But there's an [Dm]endin'
While you are sleepin'
Life is [Am]a- creepin'
Wake up and taste [E]it[C#m]
Foolish to [E]waste it
Sample and [D]savor
[Dm]All of life's flav[Am]or

[Verse 3]
As long as you're livin'
[Am]
As long as you're livin'
Always remember
Folks who are lazy
Are playin' [Dm]crazy
You better keep movin'
Keep on improv[Am]in'
You won't be hur[E]ried
After you're [C#m]buried
[E]Live every [Bm]minute
[D]And put yoursel[Dm]f in it[Am]

[Verse 5]
As long as you're [Am]livin'
Always remember
You'll never beat life
Don't try [G]to cheat [Em]life
[Dm]Sisters and brothers
Do unto [Am]others
Love's for enjoy[E]in'
[C#m]Hate's for [Cm]destroyin'
[E]Never forget it[Bm][D]
Or you'll re[Dm]gret [Am]it
As long as you're livin'

[Verse 6]
[Am]Forgive me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I have to say
A message that I hope will reach
People who are throwin' life away
I [Dm]call it my philosophy
That is why I pass it on to you
Be[Am]cause it works so well for [C]me
[E]It helps me get away from strife
Hope you [E]listen [Em]carefully
They say the [Dm]truth will make you free
And [Am]that's the way you wanna be
'Cause, sister, this is your life
