Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Well you know, I was always the first to arrive at the party,

 Ooh... and the last to leave the scene of the crime.

 Well it started with a couple of beers,

 And it went I don't know how many years,

 Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line. 0:47

Verse 2

 Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem.

 But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb.

 Well I got down on my knees and said "Hey!

 I just can't go on living this way!"

 Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time. 1:19

Bridge

Oh yeah! One day at a time!

Oh yeah! One day at a time! 1:35

Bridge, repeated 2:23

Verse 3

 Well I finally got around to admit that I was a problem.

 When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine.

 All the friends I used to run with are gone,

 Lord, I hadn't planned on livin' this long.

 But I finally learned to live my life one day at a time! 2:54

Coda

 It was something I was too blind to see,

 I got help from something greater than me...

 And today I learned to live my life one day at a time! 3:18
