What A Life

A                                E
There's a man down my street     every morning wakes up late
D                                     A     E
when he wakes up      he sees what he's become
A                                  E
slaps his shoes on his feet        shuts the door and leaves
D                               A        E
working his whole life         oh what a life

-chorus-
D                                A
we believe that heaven's gone    to a place we don't belong
F#m                               E
in a song that makes us sad      in a world that's going mad
D                               A
we believe in what we want      cuz it hurts us to be wrong
F#m
if i break before it ends   in my heart of hearts
E
I hope you'll understand



A                                      E
there's a school up my street          with some kids i know
                    D          A             E
as blameless the snow          the falling snow
A
Then a man half insane

           E
shoots up half the school before taking his own
D
life

A              E
oh what a life

(chorus)

(background singers A)    E....
 3x (wake me up when all the people wanna change) .....

A

F#m
the sky is falling all around us, and there's one place left to go
D

E
