Verse 1:
 
  Cm                                       Ab
I haven’t really ever found a place that I call home
  Cm                                      Ab
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
   Cm                                  Ab
I apologise that once again I’m not in love
                     Cm                                Ab
But it’s not as if I mind that your heart aint exactly breaking
            Bb7             Bb7
It’s just a thought, only a thought
 
 
Chorus:
 
          Eb Bb   Ab
But if my life is for rent
      Eb    Bb      Ab
and I don’t lean to buy
       Eb              Bb        Ab
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
 
 
Verse 2:
 
     Cm                                              Ab
I’ve always thought that I would love to live by the sea
   Cm                                           Ab
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
  Cm                                   Ab
I have no idea what’s happened to that dream
    Cm                                  Ab
Cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me
            Bb7             Bb7
It’s just a thought, only a thought
 
 
Chorus:
 
          Eb Bb   Ab
But if my life is for rent
      Eb    Bb      Ab
and I don’t lean to buy
       Eb              Bb        Ab
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
 
 
          Eb Bb   Ab
But if my life is for rent
      Eb    Bb      Ab
and I don’t lean to buy
       Eb              Bb        Ab
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
 
 
Bridge:
 
      Eb            Bb           Ab           Bb
While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down
      Eb                Bb        Ab         Bb
While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
             Ab        Bb
Well how can I say I’m alive
 
 
Chorus:
 
          Eb Bb   Ab
But if my life is for rent
      Eb    Bb      Ab
and I don’t lean to buy
       Eb              Bb        Ab
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
 
 
          Eb Bb   Ab
But if my life is for rent
      Eb    Bb      Ab
and I don’t lean to buy
       Eb              Bb        Ab
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
 
 
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
    Eb        Bb            Ab
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Dear GuitarLearner, I've looked all of the versions of the chords and you was the best (the only good one). It's good except a few chords. But the song is on Eb Major. That's means that there can't be G#, D# or A# (I hope you know what i'm talking about). The chords can be Ab Eb, Bb and so on. Check it out on the Circle of the Fifth (link: https://www.jimmychanbluesharp.com.hk/gif/circle%20fifth.jpg) thank you, yuno01

The man is right about the music, only in other words the chords stays the same, it depends on how its written, the chorred ought to be named ad Yuno01 says. But indeed your's the only one that rigth. I'vs tried to play along with the other versions but its was all wrong, to high, Am, thats not rigth, yours is!! Great, I voted a 5, so everyone who read this, this is the tru version, and none of the others are, so all vote 5. Greetz Friso

I'll try to make a version out of it based on the stuff that you've got. I've got this song on VCR from a Total Request Live-like show. So hopefully that'll settle the problem
