I was playing Bon Jovi's 'It's my life' on guitar, strummin away to the acoustic version of the song, which by the way, sounds totally different and depressing at the same time. So here it is


And here are lyrics

It's My Life lyrics

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

But I'm not satisfied. It sounds way too sad for him to sing the lyrics they wrote, so I thought I'd change the lyrics to something that suits the mood it it puts me in, and waste some time in the process. Here's my final product.

It's My Life lyrics

This is a song for the broken-hearted
it’s a silent prayer for the faith-departed
I’m just gonna be, a face in the crowd
I’m gonna hear their voices
as they drown me out

[Chorus:]
It's my life
it doesn’t matter
I ain't gonna climb that ladder
I wonder if I’ll live to see the light
(It's my life)
My path is a forsaken highway
and everything ain’t goin my way
Maybe I should end it with this knife
that’s my life

This is for the ones who bear that frown
For the good men out there, who’re all shot down
The world’s outta justice, mistakes were made
don’t count on your luck
*EDIT*I must've deleted this line by accident, here it is*EDIT end*
you ain't never gonna get paid

[Chorus:]
It's my life
it ain’t gettin better
I feel like I’ve been down forever
I just wanna feel like I’m alive
(It's my life)
My life has been an endless cryin day
wish I could say
I did it my way
don’t wanna be the one to take my life
'Cause it's my life

This is my chance with all this havoc in town
Better run when I can, and try to turn it around

[Chorus:] X2
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
I’m running on an open highway
I finally get to
do it my way
I know I’m gonna make it out alive

Verse for what I should do now

One last paper, better shoot it down,
stop writin this trash, and playin the clown
you don't wanna be just a shrimp in the sea,
so pucker your butt up, it's time to go study
