Hey, Life ain’t al ways beau ti ful, but it’s a (G)beau ti ful ride.

Some (D)days I miss your (Em7)smile.
Are you (D)tired of walk in’ all these can lone ly miles?
And I (D)wish for just one min ute ful.
I could (D)see your pret ty (Em7)face.
Yes, it’s (D)I can dream, but life don’t the work that the way.
But the strug gles make me strong er
and the chang es make me wise.
And hap pi ness has its own way of tak in’ its sweet time.
No, life ain’t al ways beau ti ful.
But (D)I know will I’ll be fine.
Hey, life ain’t al ways beau ti ful, but it’s a (G)beau ti ful ride.
And what a (G)beau ti ful ride.
