[G]
"That's life!" (That's life)
[B7]
That's what all the people say.
[Em] [Bb7] [A7]
You're ridin' high in April, Shot down in May.
[Cm6] [G] [Cmaj7] [B7+5] [Em]
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
[A9] [Am7]
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
[D9] [G]
I said that's life (That's life)
[B7]
And as funny as it may seem.
[Em] [Bb7]
Some people get their kicks,
[A7]
Stompin' on a dream;
[G] [F#m7] [F7] [Em]
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
[Am9] [A9+5]
'Cause this fine, ol' world,
[D9] [D7sus2] [G]
It keeps spinnin' around.
[G7]
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
[G7]
A pawn, and a king.
[C6]
I've been up and down and over and out,
[C] [Bb7]
And I know one thing:
[A7]
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
[D7]
I pick myself up and get back in the race!
[D9+5] [G]
That's life! (That's life)
[B7]
I tell ya, I can't deny it.
[Em]
I thought of quittin', baby,
[A7]
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
[Cm6] [G] [F#m7+5] [B7] [Em]
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
[A7b9] [D7] [G]
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly.
[G7]
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
[G7]
A pawn, and a king.
[C6]
I've been up and down and over and out,
[C] [Bb7]
And I know one thing:
[A7]
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
[D7]
I pick myself up and get back in the race!
[D9+5] [G]
That's life! (That's life)
[B7]
That's life, and I can't deny it!
[Em]
Many times I thought of cuttin' out,
[A7]
But my heart won't buy it.
[Cm6] [G] [F#m7+5] [B7] [Em]
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July,
[A7b9] [D7] [G] [C9]
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die!
[D7+5] [G13-5]
My, my!
