INTRO 
(Em,G,D) 

 G                       D 
I came to you in dark despair 
                            G 
I needed someone who would care. 
 Em                             Am 
You held me close against your heart 
    D                            G 
I felt a warmth right from the start. 
  
 Em                       Am 
Then one day he took you away 
  D                         G 
Why did it happen, who can say? 
Em                              Am 
Now all that there is left for me 
D                    G 
Is just a precious memory. 

Em           Am 
That's life, that's life 
D                                G 
You take the joy, you take the sorrow. 
Em           Am 
That's life, that's life 
D                             G 
You're here today and gone tomorrow. 

G                                  D 
My iife has crumbled since you've gone 
                         G 
But somehow i must carry on. 
Em                         Am 
The pain i feel i can't describe. 
D                                 G 
I can't forget you, though i've tried. 

Em                          Am 
Each night i say a little prayer 
D                                G 
That when he takes me you'll be there. 
Em                    Am 
Together once again we'll be 
D                    G 
I'll live again my memory. 

Em           Am 
That's life, that's life 
D                                G 
You take the joy, you take the sorrow. 
Em            Am 
That's life, that's life 
D                            G 
You're here today and gone tomorrow. 

Em           Am 
That's life, that's life 
D                                G 
You take the joy, you take the sorrow. 
Em           Am 
That's life, that's life 
D                             G 
You're here today and gone tomorrow.
