G B7
That's life, that's what all the people say
Em A
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
G B7 Em
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
A D
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
G B7
That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Em A
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
G B7 Em
But I don't let it get me down
A D
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around
G
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
C
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
A
Each time I find myself flat on my face
D
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
G B7
That's life, oh, that's life and I can't deny it
Em A
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
G B7 Em
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
A D
Well, I'd on a big bird and then I'd fly
G
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, oh, and a king
C
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
A
Each time I find myself flat on my face
D
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
G B7
That's life, oh, and I can't deny it
Em A
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
G B7 Em
And if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
A D
Well, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
G B7
That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Em A
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
G B7 Em
But I don't let it get me down
