[Verse 1]
G#m                                 F
I was born dying, but I was born to be someone
G#m        F              D#m         E
No time to lose, I'm only here for so long
G#m             F#                      B         E
My days have a number, but numbers only matter so much
G#m                F#                     C#
Right now I'm breathing, I feel like I was born to love, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
 E
(Oh-oh)This is what I want to be remembered for
 F#                                   E
This is what I want to be remembered for
E                                   F#
Everything else, you can set it on fire
E
(Oh-oh)I want to still be standing when it falls apart
F#
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
E                                 F#
It's what I want to be remembered for

[Verse 2]
G#m                  F#                 B  E
I was born trying to prove that I could be someone
G#m         F#m              D#m                E
I lost that fight before the bell had ever been rung
B               F#                 G#m
I threw in the towel, I dropped my fist
                         E
Gave up the life I never missed
                        F#m
Love lit the fire now I feel it in my chest
 
 
[Chorus]
 E                                           F#
(Oh-oh) This is what I want to be remembered for
                                     E
This is what I want to be remembered for
                                   F#
Everything else, you can set it on fire
E                                                  F#
(Oh-oh) I want to still be standing when it falls apart
                                        E
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
                                  F#
It's what I want to be remembered for

        E                                            F#
Don't want to be defined by all these things I've done
                                        E
I'd rather be remembered by the ones I love

And when the day is finally here
G#m           B
     To leave behind these broken years
E             D#m
    I want my family by my side
E                     B
   I hope they'll know how hard I've tried
G#m
   To live in love
B
   To love in depth
Emaj7          B
   Let wonder take away my breath
E                B
   To give until there's nothing more
E           B        F#                   E B
   This what I want to be remembered for
              I was born dying, but I was born to be someone
No time to lose, I'm only here for so long
My days have a number, but numbers only matter so much
Right now I'm breathing, I feel like I was born to love, oh

This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else - you can set it on fire
I want to still be standing when it falls apart
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
It's what I want to be remembered for

I was born trying to prove that I could be someone
I lost that fight before the bell had ever been rung
I threw in the towel, I dropped my fist
Gave up the life I never missed
Love lit the fire now I feel it in my chest

This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else - you can set it on fire
I want to still be standing when it falls apart
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
It's what I want to be remembered for

And I don't have to be somebody
As long as I am with somebody
Who knows that I can be somebody

This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else - you can set it on fire
I want to still be standing when it falls apart
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
It's what I want to be remembered for
(This is what I want to be)
This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else - you can set it on fire, fire
I don't want to be defined by all these things I've done
I'd rather be remembered by the ones I love
This is what I want to be remembered for
(Want to be remembered for)

And when the day is finally here
To leave behind these broken years
I want my family by my side
I hope they'll know how hard I've tried
To live in love
To love in depth
Let wonder take away my breath
To give until there's nothing more
This what I want to be remembered for
