Intro: F C G  (2x)
 
verse 1 

F            C     G 
Drove out to California 
F            C        G      
Played for a dollar a day 
  F        C             G        Am 
To sing my songs while a few sang along 
    F                               G 
Was worth more than what I got paid 

F         C             G 
But I've got this crazy feeling 
  F                C        G 
Everything's gonna work out right 
  F          C             G          Am 
The odds are stacked but I won't look back 
       F                          G 
I'm not going down without a fight 

    F             C     G 
I'd rather make a living 
     F        C    G 
Just being myself 
    F             C       G       Am 
I'd rather make a living being myself 
       F             G 
Than a killing being someone else 


F C G

verse 2 

F           C            G 
I could trade this guitar 
      F              C       G 
For a tie wrapped around my neck 
      F    C            G        Am 
Grab a 401K, rent would never be late 
        F                      G 
I could cash my dreams for some check  No 

    F             C     G 
I'd rather make a living 
     F        C    G 
Just being myself 
    F             C       G       Am 
I'd rather make a living being myself 
       F             G       C 
Than a killing being someone else
 

Bridge 

             Am          G        F 
Sometimes it ain't clear where to go 
          Am                   G             F 
Without a ladder to climb or a path to follow 
          Am           G      D 
But these dreams won't let me go 

F C G (x4) 

    F             C     G 
I'd rather make a living 
    F             C     G 
I'd rather make a living 
    F             C     G 
I'd rather make a living 
           F            C                  G      Am 
'Cause you can't call it living if you're someone else 

    F             C     G 
I'd rather make a living 
     F        C    G 
Just being myself 
    F             C       G       Am 
I'd rather make a living being myself 
       F             G        
Than a killing being someone else
