Biography:
Dave Edmunds (born April 15, 1944) is a singer, guitarist and producer from Cardiff, Wales. Though he was primarily associated with pub rock and New Wave, and had numerous hits in the late 70's and early 80's, he was steadfastly devoted to pre-Beatles rock and roll. An infrequent songwriter, Edmunds has largely relied on cover songs or custom-written material to sustain his career.
In the late 1960s he led a blues-rock trio called Love Sculpture

I’m Gonna Start Livin’ Again (If It Kills Me) Lowe/Carter/Edmunds
[Verse 1]
E D
It’s time I got up and out of this fifth floor prison
E A
And went and did somethin’ else
E C#m
I’ve been sick of everything for so long
D B
That now I’m even sick of myself
E D
I’m gonna call up some old friends I used to know
E A
Although they never come around much now
E G# C#m Am E B E
But I can’t blame them, who wants to listen to me talk about you for hours
[Chorus]
A B E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
A B E
If it’s the very last thing I do
A B G# C#m E B E
I’m gonna make a splash in that social world And purge myself of you
[Link]
E D E A B
[Verse 2]
E D
I’m gonna dust of my little black book and call Sonja
E A
‘Cause she was always good for a smile
E C#m
But when I whispered sweet nothings into her phone
D B
They meant sweet nothing to her
E D
Then I tried Sally and Sue, with nothing better to do
E A
But they were turning tricks out at Disney World
E G# C#m Am
In desperation I called Mona
E B E
But her Mom said she was out with the girls
[Chorus]
A B E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
A B E
If it’s the very last thing I do
A B G# C#m E B E
I’m gonna make a splash in that social world And purge myself of you
[Bridge]
A B E
Sunday or Monday, I can’t remember
A B E
I never know what day it is

Tuesday Wednesday All I ever
C B
Blue days run in to each other
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
A B E
I’m gonna start livin’ again if it kills me
