E 
He took one last look 
D 
Tossed that address book 
E                 D 
His odyssey has begun 
E 
No time to see sights 
D 
Ran all the red lights 
E 
Burned all his bridges 
         D 
Now it's love on the run 


A           E  D 
Livin' it up 
          E          A A E A A D D A E 
Is takin' all of his time 
             A           E  D 
But he ain't givin' it up 
             E           A A E A A D D A E 
It suits his temperament fine  
 
 
Up on the bandstand 
Plays for a few fans 
Workin' for minimum wage 
He spots her lookin' 
His brain is cookin' 
She takes her seat 
At the foot of the stage 
 
Chorus: 
 
Livin' it up 
Is takin' all of his time 
But he ain't givin' it up 
It suits his temperament fine 
 
Yeah he loves livin' it up 
And takin' all of his time 
But he ain't givin' it up 
It never crosses his mind 
 
Didn't say much, had a soft touch 
Knew what felt good in her man 
He was the same way and they split the next day 
Sang all the way through the Yucatan 
 
Chorus: 
 
Livin' it up 
Is takin' all of our time 
But we ain't givin' it up 
It never crosses our mind 
 
No no no he's just livin' it up 
And takin' all of his time 
But he ain't givin' her up 
She suits his temperament fine 
 
Yeah she's just livin' it up 
And takin' all of his time 
But she ain't givin' him up 
It never crosses her mind
