That's [G]life,that's what [B7]all the people say
[Em]You’re ridin' high in April, [A7]shot down in May
[G]But I know I'm gonna [B7]change that [Em]tune
When [A7]Im back on top, back on top in [D]June
I said that's [G]life (that's life), and [B7]as funny as it may seem
[Em]Some people get their kicks [A7] stompin' on a dream
But [G] I don't let it, let [B7] it get me [Em] down
'cause this [A7] fine old world, [D]it keeps spinnin' [D7] round
[G]I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
a [G7]pawn and a kingI've been [C]up and down and over and out [C7]and I know one thing
[A7]Each time I find myself flat on my face
[D]I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's [G]life (that's life), I tellyou [B7]I can't deny it
[Em]I thought of quitting, baby,[A7]but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
[G]And if I didn't think it [B7]was worth one single [Em]try
[A7]I’d jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly[D7]
[G]I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a [G7]pawn and a king
I've been [C]up and down and over and out [C7]and I know one thing
[A7]Each time I find myself flat on my face
[D]I pick myself up and get back in the race [D#]
[G#]That's life (that's life), that's life and I [C7] can't deny it
[Fm]Many times I thought of cuttin' out [A#7]but my heart won't buy it
[G#]But if there's nothin' [C7] shakin' come this here [Fm] July
I'm gonna [A#7]myself up in a [G#]big ball a-and [G]die [B7] [E] [Em]
[Em] My, [G]my!
