Intro:  G   Em   Am7   D   (x2)

       G                                                B7
That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
Em7                                      A7
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
     G                            B7                  Em7
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
                A7                                            D13
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

                     G                                    B7
I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Em7                                          A7
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
G/D                   B7                   Em
But I don't let it, let it get me down
                     A7               C/D                             G     C/G  G
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

 

                   G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
                 C6
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
           A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face
  D                  D                D                D  C/D
I pick myself up and get back in the race

 

That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quittin', baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

 

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
          D                  D              Eb
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

 

           Ab                                    C7
That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Fm                                        Bb7
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
    Ab/Eb                     C7                                 Fm
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
                  Bb7                 Db/Eb                      Ab         B7         E7          Db/Eb
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
                                             doot doot  doot doot  doot doot

A7b5       Ab7
My ....    my!
