(D)Life ain’t al ways beau ti ful. Some (D)times it’s just plain (Em7)hard. Are Well, (D)life can knock you down; it can break your heart. And I (D)Life ain’t al ways beau ti ful. You could (D)think you’re on your (Em7)way and it’s (D)just a dead end road at the end of the day. But the strug gles make you strong er and the chang es make you 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)Tears know will fall some times. Hey, Life ain’t al ways beau ti ful, but it’s a (G)beau ti ful ride. (D)Life ain’t al ways beau ti ful. 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.
