That's [G]life (That's life), that's what [B7]all the people say

[Em]You're riding high in April, [A7]shot down in May

But I[G/D] know I'm gonna [B]change that [Em7]tune

When I'm [A7]back on top, back on top in June[D]

 

I said, that's life[G] (That's life), and [B7]as funny as it may seem

[Em]Some people get their kicks [A7]stompin' on a dream

[G/D]But I don't let it, [B]let it get me down[Em7]

'Cause this [A7]fine old world, [D]it keeps [G]spinning around

 

[G7]I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king

I've been [C]up and down and over and out, and I know one thing

Each [A7]time I find myself flat on my face

I [D]pick myself up and get back in the race

 

That's [G]life (That's life), I tell ya, I [B7]can't deny it

[Em]I thought of quitting, baby

[A7]But my heart just ain't gonna buy it

And [G/D]if I didn't think it [B]was worth one single [Em7]try

I'd jump [A7]right on a [D]big bird and then I'd [G]fly

 

[G7]I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king

I've been [C]up and down and over and out, and I know one thing

Each [A7]time I find myself laying flat on my face

I just [D]pick myself up and get [D#]back in the race

 

That's [G#]life (That's life), that's life [C7]and I can't deny it

[Fm]Many times I thought of [A#7]cutting out but my heart won't buy it

But [G#/D#]if there's nothing shaking [C]come this here [Fm7]July[A#7]

I'm gonna roll myself up in a [D#7]big ball and [G#]die[B]　[E]

[Amaj7]My, [G#7]my
