This Life

	  		Dm                   C 
Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy 

Dm 
Let me get straight to it,  
                                  C 
I've bit off more than I could chew 
                                               Bb 
I felt the sting and slap of failure missed my due  

like a hard knife, cutting through a slice  
       Gm 
of ego of ambition yeah put me off my mission,  
Dm 
I've been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt,  
C 
taking this and that 'cause I had so much hurt,  
Bb 
I'm not plying you with liquor 
for you tongue to get a flicker  
Gm 
I just need to tell my story  
if you're drunk I'll get done quicker.  



Dm          C 
Hey hey gotta keep the hope up 
Bb                                    C 
gotta keep your eye on the prize 
Dm                 C 
Hey hey gotta keep the highs up, 
Bb       
I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size 
Dm 
There is more to this life  
                                          Bb 
I must believe that there is more to this life.  
Dm 
there is more to this life 
I must believe that there is more to this life.  



Dm 
Let me get straight to it,  
                                C 
there's more explaining I could do  
                                         Bb 
but I am here just for diversion as are you 
don't mean to jump the gun, but we could have some fun  
       Gm 
there's little sense in dishing 
since I've noticed you're not listening  
Dm 
I'm feeling fairly lucky  
C 
I've been surfing shadows of success in my dreams,  
Bb 
and yes I know my guard's down 
Gm 
but I don't mind it for you, see. 

 
Dm          C

Bb                                    C 
gotta keep your eye on the prize 
Dm                 C 
Hey hey gotta keep the highs up, 
Bb       
I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size 
Dm 
There is more to this life  
                                          Bb 
I must believe that there is more to this life.  
Dm 
there is more to this life 
I must believe that there is more to this life.

Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy 
Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy 
There is more to this life,  
I must believe that there is more to this life 
There is more to this life.  
I must believe that there is more to this life.
