Lyrics

Don’t let it (B7)get you,

don’t let it get you (A7)down;

’cause this (G)fine old (C)world

keeps on (C)spin nin’ ’round.

That’s life;

that’s what (B7)all

the peo ple (B7)say.

Rid in’ high in A pril;

you’re shot down in May.

I (G)know I’m gon na (B7)change

that (Em7)tune,

when I’m back on top, mm, in June.

I (CN.C.)say, that’s life;

as fun ny as it may seem,

some peo ple get their (Gm9)ba kicks

stomp in’ on your dreams.

gon na buy it.

And if I But I don’t let it, let it was it get me down; (Em7)try,

’cause this (A9)fine old world big bird, keeps spin nin’ ’round.

I’ve been a (Dm9)pup pet, a pau per, a (G13)pi rate, a po et, a pawn and a (CN.C.)king.

I’ve been (Dmaj9)up and down and (C6)o ver and out, but I know one thing:

each (A9)time I find (Em7)my self

flat on this face,

I (Am7)pick my self up and get back in the race.

That’s (G)life; (That’s life.)

as I can’t de ny may it.

I thought of quit tin’, (Gm9)ba by;

this heart was n’t dreams.

gon na buy it.

And if I But I did n’t think let it was worth one sin gle (Em7)try,

I’d jump (A9)right on a big bird, and then I’d fly.

I’ve been a (Dm9)pup pet, a pau per, a (G13)pi rate, a po et, a pawn and a (CN.C.)king.

I’ve been (Dmaj9)up and down and (C6)o ver and out, and I know one thing:

each (A9)time I find (Em7)my self

flat on my face,

I (Am7)pick my self up and get back in the race.

That’s (G)life; (That’s life.)

up and get (Bbm7)back in the race.

(CN.C.)That’s life.

(That’s life.) That’s life, and I can’t de ny it.

Well, man y times I (Ebm9)thought of cut tin’ (Ab13)out,

but my heart won’t buy (Bb9)it.

But (Ab)if there’s noth in’ shak in’ come this here Ju (Fm7)ly,

I’m gon na (Db)roll, (He’s gon na roll, (Dbmaj7)I’m gon na (C)roll, he’s gon na (F7b9)roll.) I’m gon na (Bbm7)roll my (Ab)self

in a (Dbmaj9)big ball

and (Ab7#9)die.

(That’s life;

that’s life.)

(That’s life;

you can’t de ny.) (Ab7#9)die.

(That’s life;

that’s life.)

(That’s life;

you can’t de ny.) you can’t de ny.)
