                   G# C#                G# C#
Breaking in a sweat    like a bomb threat
                    C#    G#
Is your silhouette fading out?
                    G# C#                G# C#
Nothing left to lose,   detonate the fuse
                  C#      G#
Another breaking news blowout

Ain't it beautiful? So unusual
Life's a gas and it's running out
Living a cliche, gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets that celebrate,

C#   G#     C#   G#
Celebrate, celebrate

Chorus:
C#            F# G#
Carpe diem a battle
 C# C#
cry aren't we all
     G#    F# C#
too young to die?
C#
Ask for reason
    F# G#  C#
and no reply
C#
Aren't we all
    G#    F# C#
too young to die?

F#        C#
Making a living
F#        C#
Making a killing
 F#
What's worth
    C#       G#
Forgiving A life

A blink of an eye, barely scraping by
Dominated by passersbys
Feeling out of luck when the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind

Getting off a binge, get a second wind
Another promise to make a change
Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing
When the signal is out of range

Ain't it strange? Ain't it strange?

Chorus

Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth
Forgiving A life
