Intro: GEmA7D x2
GB7
Thatʼs life (thatʼs life), thatʼs what all the people say
EmA7
Youʼre ridinʼ high in April, shot down in May
GB7Em
But I know Iʼm gonna change that tune
A7D
When Iʼm back on top, back on top in June
GB7
I said thatʼs life (thatʼs life), and as funny as it may seem
EmA7
Some people get their kicks stompinʼ on a dream
GB7Em
But I donʼt let it, let it get me down
A7DGCG
ʼcause this fine old world, it keeps spinninʼ around
GG7
Iʼve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
CC7
Iʼve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face
DDDDD
I pick myself up and get back in the race
GB7
Thatʼs life (thatʼs life), I tell you I canʼt deny it
EmA7
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ainʼt gonna buy it
GB7Em
And if I didnʼt think it was worth one single try
A7DGCG
Iʼd jump right on a big bird and then Iʼd fly
GG7
Iʼve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
CC7
Iʼve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face
DDD#
I pick myself up and get back in the race
G#C7
Thatʼs life (thatʼs life), thatʼs life and I canʼt deny it
FmA#7

G#C7Fm
But if thereʼs nothinʼ shakinʼ come this here July
A#7D#G#B7EEm
Iʼm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
EmG#
My, my!
