Lyrics

Had a nice lit tle life,

a lit tle boat, a lit tle beach, a lit tle rou tine I (Dsus)like.

A the blue o cean (G6)view,

free to go with the flow an y where that I want ed to.

But But the mo ment you set foot on my shore, the that’s when I (G)knew.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

You can’t have it all all by your self.

Some thin’s al ways miss in’ till you share it with some one else.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

Till a you sailed tle me,

a thought that I a had it good, a as good as it could (Dsus)be.

From the back of my (G6)deck,

caught a fish, caught a breeze and a thou sand red sun ed sets.

But sit tin’ here ment with you, girl, I just saw

the best when one (G)yet.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

You can’t have it all all by your self.

Some thin’s al ways miss in’ till you share it with some one else.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

(Am)My days are (Em)bright er, my sky a deep er blue.

(Am)My nights are

er

(A)when I’m with (Em9)you.

(G)liv in’,

I thought I was (Em7)liv in’.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well,

liv in’ well.

(Em)I’m (D)liv in’ well.
