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!
