**Chords:**
Capo 2nd fret  
C  G  Am  F  

C  
It's not the long flowing robes  
      G  
Of elegant temptresses  
      Am  
It's not the wise and ancient sage  
      F  
That makes you feel like a king  

C  
But it's the way that you smile  
      G  
When you turn and look at me  
      Am  
And I know that you will be  
      F  
Right there by my side  

C  
If we were vampires  
      G  
And death was a joke  
          Am  
We'd go out on the sidewalk  
       F  
And smoke  

C  
And laugh at all the folks  
      G  
That we could have been  
      Am  
But life is too short  
      F  
To waste on the end  

C  
So let's live like we're dying  
      G  
And love like we're free  
      Am  
And make every moment  
      F  
A memory
