Subject: "How Do I Live " by LeAnn Rimes
Created by: Keith B. Brown
Song: "How Do I Live"
Written by: Diane Warren
As sung by: LeAnn Rimes
Some of the poly chords may be difficult to play on guitar,
but I believe they are the best representation of what is
occuring in the song apart from a bass player. There also may
be a few differences between Trisha Yearwood's version and
LeAnn's however, I believe both songs are nearly the same.
"HOW DO I LIVE"
**INTRO**
D A G F#m7
D A G A Bsus
**VERSE 1**
Bsus E B/D#
How do I, get through one night without you
F#m7
If I had to live without you

Oh and I, I need you and my arms need you to hold
A
Your my world my heart my soul
G#m7 C#m7

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
F#m7
There would be no love in my life
Bsus
There'd be no world left for me
E B/D#
And I, baby I don't know what I would do
A
I'd be lost if I lost you

| woowoo, I totally agree!! I think this is, hands down, one of he greatest songs of all time... and it only has 2 (now 3) comments?? CRAZY!! I can't think of a song more beautifully written than this. When I first found out my boyfriend didn't really love me (and loved someone else) I listened to this over and over, and cried non-stop... | |

| I can't believe there are only 4 other posts. This is the best song ever. Leann is truely amazing. It is describing how one's soulmate is everything and, my heart my soul. If one is blessed enough to find that "soulmate," this song would explain the emptiness that he or she would feel without that love in their live. | |

| This is a beautiful song,about being deeply in love with someone but knowing deep down that one day they will leave you.She is simply asking 'what will I do when you leave me?' | |
