That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
Em                             A7
  You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
G              B7                Em
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
         A7                        | D  D+ |
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

   I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Em                            A7
  Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
    G               B7            Em
But I don't let it, let it get me down
            A7              D                | G    C-G |
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

            G                                   G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,    a pawn and a king
          C                             C7
I've been up and down and over and out,    and I know one thing
     A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
  D                      D7
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
Em                                    A7
  I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
    G                        B7               Em
But if I didn't think it was worth one single try

         A7                   D            | G  C-G |
I'd jump right on a big bird,   and then I'd fly

          C                             C7
I've been up and down and over and out,    and I know one thing

Many times I thought of cuttin' out     but my heart won't buy it
