Meant To Live, by Switchfoot

This is a great song!  None of the ones I found were
close enough, so I did this one from
by ear and by hand.  Maybe it will be different/easier than
some of the others since I did it from scratch.  Sounds like it
to me, though!  Sorry if it's confusing without the lyrics,
email me at thewoolleyman AT gmail DOT com if you want them :)
