Life number one, it wasn’t much fun, I’d only known you for days
D         C               D           C   D          C          D      C
I didn’t know how often I’d go, dying in so many ways
D                C           D          C           D              C           D      C
Life number two was given to you, you wouldn’t return my call
         D           C          D    C         D            C   G
I was patiently waiting, anticipating, I felt two feet tall

(CHORUS)
    Em                 A                    D                             G
     What you’ve done to me it's worse than guns and knives
     Em                   A        D       C          D C D C D
     You took all of my..... NINE LIVES

D                C             D              C    D       C     D      C
Life number three was taken from me, I was seventeen
D                 C        D             C       D                 C                  D      C
You weren’t aware that I was there, you were the homecoming queen
D                C     D                 C      D               C        D      C
Life number four went out the door, when I was twenty one
       D         C              D         C                           D         C              G
The perfect setting, the perfect wedding, there was nothing I could’ve done

(TO CHORUS)

D                C              D        C              D         C          D         C
Life number five, I was barely alive I was holding onto my dreams
  D                     C    D                   C       D                  C          D         C
I wished you the best but then I confessed to one of my devious schemes
D                 C     D              C           D          C        D        C
Life number six, it hit me like bricks, I saw you on the street
           D                                     D             C               D                      C              G
It was you and your man, you were holding his hand and I swear you were laughing at me

(TO CHORUS)

D                C                 D            C                   D             C         D         C
Life number seven, when I went to heaven, it had nothing to do with you
         D               C          D                    C             D          C            D       C
With shingles like butter, I tripped on the gutter and fell right off of the roof
D                 C            D                  C         D                        C           D       C
Life number eight, you moved out of state, I thought you were gone for good
         D              C         D           C          D      C      G
Then one sunny day you called to say you finally understood (that)

(TO CHORUS)

Now that you’re mine in life number nine, my last life I will live
     D                C                       D         C             D          C          G
I’ll be what you needed, but I’d gladly repeat it if I had nine more to give

(TO CHORUS)
