B C Db G               B         Em                      A
         (Don't let it   get you,   don't let it get you down
         G    C   Db                D                  G   C   Ebm D
For this fine old    world keeps on   spinning 'round)


[Verse]
               G
   That's life
               A              B
   That's what all the people say
Em
   You're riding high in April
A
   You're shot down in May
     G                B             Em
   I know I'm gonna change that tune
            A                   C
   When I'm  back on top in June
                     G
    I say that's life
A Bb B
       As funny as it may seem
D Em                D           G C
    Some people get their kicks
                        A
    Stompin' on your dreams
G                     B                  Em
   But I don't let it, let it get me down
               A              D                 G
   'Cause this fine ol' world   keeps spinning 'round


[Chorus]
            Dm                   G
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
        Dm             G
A poet,   a pawn and a king
          Am                          C
I've been up and down and over and out
                     B Bb
But I know one thing
     A             G     A
Each time I find myself,   flat on this face
  D
I pick myself up and get back in the race


[Verse]
              G
   That's life
A            B
   I can't deny it
Em                        D
   I thought of quitting, baby
G                    A
   This heart wasn't gonna buy it
       G                 B                       Em
   And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
            A                   C              G
   I'd jump right on a big bird   and then I'd fly


[Chorus]
               Dm                  G
   I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
           Dm             G
   A poet,   a pawn and a king
             Am                          C
   I've been up and down and over and out
                       B Bb
   And I know one thing
        A             G      A
   Each time I find myself, flat on this face
     D                      Ebm         Bbm
   I pick myself up and get back in the race


[Verse]
              Ab
   That's life
          Bb   C
   That's life   and I can't deny it
Fm
   Many times I thought of cutting out
Ebm Ab                       Bb
      But my heart won't buy it
       Ab                 C                      Fm              Bb
   But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July (come here July)
             Ab
   I'm gonna roll
   Gbm       Ebm
   I'm gonna roll
                    C       Db                  Ab     B
   I'm gonna roll myself up   in a big ball and diiiiiiiiie
Ab                B
   Can't deny it
Ab             B  Ab
   That's life
