Am
   I've lived a life of good times
G
  Money and women came my way
      F
But I always lost in both
                                  Am
'Cause all streaks turn cold someday
Am
   And then here come the bad times
G
  But when they come they never stay
          F
Because I leave it all behind
                                       Am
The diamonds in the night sky light my way


[Chorus]
A
  That's the way it goes
G
  In this life we chose
   D
My heart is with this life
          Dm                 Am
Though it cost me everything


[Instrumental]
Am G F Am


[Verse 2]
Am
   Fear of loss, it keeps you
G
  Stuck in some place you don't want to stay
         F
But I've lost it all and come back many times
               Am
I'll never be afraid


[Chorus]
A
  That's the way it goes
G
  In this life we chose
       D
You've got to take a chance
      Dm                   Am
If it costs you everything
                  G
That's the way it goes (that's the way it goes)
                   A
In this gambler's life
                G
This is what we chose (this is what we chose)
                  E         N.C.
So I'll roll the dice... ha!
