For the life of me
Some parts missing, i.e. the solos and guitar 2 on chorus. I wanted to post it fast and
simple. For people like you and me so we don't have to go an
Here is a much better way to play it without a capo.

Lyrics:
(Verse) When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing with my
Head on the Floor
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice
(Pre-chorus) I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
(Chorus) For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever
Die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
My best friend took a week's vacation
To forget her
His girl took a week's worth of Valium
And slept
Now he's guilt-stricken sobbing with
His head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never
Really wept he says
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken sobbing with
Our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we
Tried not to slip, we'd say
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus twice)
Tabbed By Jason Parker
