A  F#m Bm E7


[Chorus 1]

A
That's life (that's life)
C#7
That's what all the people say
F#m7
You're riding high on Monday
B7
Shot down in May
A     C#7                         F#m
But-a, I ain't never gonna change my tune
B7                                   E7
When I'm back on top in the month of June


[Chorus 2]

A
I said, that's life (that's life)
C#7
Ain't as funny as it may seem
F#m
Some people get their kicks
B7
Stompin' on a dream
A              C#7                 F#m
But-a, I don't never let it get me down
            B7          E7                A    A7
'cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round


[Bridge]

A
Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king
D
Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
B
Each time that I find myself flat on my face
E
I pick myself up and get back in the race


[Chorus 3]

A
That's life (that's life)
C#7
And I can't deny it
F#m
Many times I thought of quitting, babe
B7
But my heart wouldn't buy it
A           C#7                F#m
If I didn't think it was worth one try
B7                      E7           A   A7
I'd jump right on a big bird and I'd fly


[Bridge 2]

A
Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king
D
Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
B
Each time that I find myself flat on my face
E                        F
I pick myself up and get back in the race


[Chorus 4]

Bb
That's life (that's life)
D7
And I can't deny it
Gm
Many times I thought of quitting, babe
C7
But my heart wouldn't buy it
Bb            D7              Gm
If I didn't think it was worth one try
C7                               F        Bb   Db  Gb F
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly
B                               Bb
