What You Live By

Em     G      D     B
(I recommend whistling the guitar 
melody for the intro, if you're 
playing this solo acoustic)


[Verse 1]
Em                  G
Meet me up on 99, beneath the Marco 
Polo sign
Em                                
I'll be the one with a box of wine
       A
 and a hundred dollar car
Em
We could talk about the lives we've 
led
    G
And count the reasons we're not dead
Em                                
Or maybe we could talk instead 
       A
about the ways in which we are


[Pre-Chorus]
G      B
Always nothing or too much to say
G            B
Only so many sides of the record to 
play
G                     B
And the song that got stuck in my 
head said

[Chorus]
    Em     D        C       B
You die by what you live by
         Em     D        C       B
You will die by what you live by
         Em     D        C      
You will die by what you live by
B      A
 every time


[Verse 2]
(Note that the second verse and 
prechorus use different progressions
 from the first ones)

Em
Like carnivores to carnal pleasures
G
So were we to desperate measures
D                              Em
Melting into stagnant puddles, beat 
down by the sun
  Em
I went to school, I didn't stay
            G                    
Spoke right up when I had nothing 
         D
good to say
(and I said it to anyone who would 
B
listen)


[Pre-Chorus]
G      B                      D
Lay me down in the bed that I made
            C
Starved for sleep by the shrill 
serenade
        B
Singing over and over


[Chorus]
    Em     D        C       B
You die by what you live by
         Em     D        C       B
You will die by what you live by
         Em     D        C      
You will die by what you live by
B      A
 every time
    Em     D        C       B
You die by what you live by
         Em     D        C       B
You will die by what you live by
         Em     D        C      
You will die by what you live by
B      A
 every time
