INTRO: C  F  C  F  G

              C
I remember my first heartache
F
Learning all the different ways a heart could break
G                     C          F         G
I took off to San Francisco Bay, grieving
                              C          F
And then there was the one in Tennessee
                                   G
That one nearly was the end of me
              C              F
So sweet, but looks can be deceiving


CHORUS:
C                             F
I had lots of big plans for tomorrow
C                                   F
Most of them probably wouldn't come true
    Am                          G 
And maybe it's a bitter pill to swallow
       F   G  Am   G       C     F    Am C G    C    F  C  F  G
But it led me here to this sweet life be-beside you


                           C
I lived with someone up in Providence
F
Looking back, it didn't make a lot of sense
G                    C               F        G
One of us was always on the fence or leaving
                              C       F
And then there was the one in Oregon
                                  G
Who wanted me to be a Born Again
                   C          
So I was shown the door again
    F
For being a heathen


CHORUS:
C                             F
I had lots of big plans for tomorrow
C                           F
Most of them never did come true
    Am                          G 
And maybe it's a bitter pill to swallow
       F   G  Am   G       C     F    Am C G    C    F  C  F  
But it led me here to this sweet life be-beside you


BRIDGE:
  
Now there's music in the kitchen
C
Laughter down the hall
         Dm
I didn't know what I was missing
      F
But I almost missed it all


C
Sweet life
      F
Sweet life
C     F     Am C G    C          F
Sweet life, be-beside you (sweet life)
       C          F
Beside you (sweet life)
       C          F
Beside you  sweet life)
  G    C  
Beside you
