Natalie Merchant - The Living
Transcribed by: Tim Eggenberger
What a great great album - thanks for everything Natalie.
This is a very sad, beautiful, and easy to play song.

For the 'G' on the Intro, don't use the low 'E' string so as to leave
your index finger free for 1st fret fill.
For the 'D' chord, include the open 'A' string for flavor.

Tuning: Standard, Capo on #1

VERSE
CWhat's it like there Goutside
With the Dliving, with the Cliving
CHere I've found a place Gthat I can hide
From the Dliving, from the Cliving

CHORUS
Cause I Gdon't care to Dstay with the Cliving

VERSE
COh, the bottle has Gbeen to me
DMy closest friend, my Cworst enemy
COh, fickle I Gwalked a fine line
DSquandered it all and Cwasted my time

CHORUS
And I Gdon't stand a Dchance among the Cliving

VERSE
CFor the lovers I've Ggambled and lost
DCount my mistakes whatCever the cost
CI'll go off, I'll Gmake myself scarce
DOh, come tomorrow You Cwon't find me here

CHORUS
Because I Gdon't care to Dstay with the Cliving
I don't Gthink I'll Dremain with the Cliving

solo:
C G D C (crying)
C G D C (crying)

And I Gdon't care to Dstay with the Cliving
No, I Gdon't care to Dstay  C
