(D7) G B7
That's life - that's what all the people say;
Em7 A7
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May.
G CM7 Bm7-5 Em7
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
A9 Am7 D9 D+
When I'm back on top in June.
G B7
That's life - funny as it seems,
Em7 A7
Some people get their kicks steppin' on a dream;
G F#m7 F7 Em
But I don't let it get me down,
A9 D9 G
'Cause this old world keeps goin' round.
Bridge:
G7
I've been a puppet a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
A pawn and a king,
C6
I've been up and down and over and out
And I've learned one thing:
A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
D7 D9 D+
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
G B7
That's life - I can't deny it,
Em7 A7
I thought of quittin', but my heart just won't buy it.
G G/F# Bm7-5 E
If I didn't think it was worth a try
A-9 A7 D+ D7 G G/F# Em Edim D7
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.
(Last Time)
A-9 A A7 D+ D7 G Am7 alt Gdim A7 G6
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
