That's life, that's what all the people say
Em A7
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
G B7 Em
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
A7 D7
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
G B7
That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Em A7
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
G B7 Em
But I don't let it get me down

'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around
G G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
C Cm
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing

Each time I find myself flat on my face
D7
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
G B7
That's life, oh, and I can't deny it
Em A7
Many times I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart won't buy it
G B7 Em
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
A7 D7
Well, I'd on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, oh, and a king

I just pick myself up and get back in the race

And if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
