Band: Bon Jovi Song: It's My Life Album: Crush Tabbed By: Brian H. Email: weezer090@hotmail.com This is a great song!! It's one of their best, by far, if not the best. It's funny how a band, stays popular, or alive so to speak for so long, with not the best songs, and then all of a sudden comes out with a GOOD song, then everyone likes them again! It's the same deal with Aerosmith, and Santana. Okay, have fun, this is easy!
