I tell you why I want to do this song, because I'm trying to relearn how to play the guitar again.
It's really hard.
You don't play it for a while.
It's really hard.
And it's just such a pretty song.
I thought it was a Ricky Lee Jones song,
but it was actually written for Frank Sinatra in his [E] later years.
I [D] believe that life is [E] meant for living
[F#m] [B]
[C#]
[D] So I'm down, [C#] so I'm [B] out, [A] so are many others
[D]
So I feel [A] like trying [B] to hide my [C#m] head beneath these covers
[Em] Life [G]
[C#] is [F#m] like a season,
[G] after winter comes [A] the spring
[D] So I sit [A] and stay a while,
[G] [A] see what [D] tomorrow brings
I've been told, [A] and I believe,
[G] that life is meant for [A] living
[D] Even when [A]
my chips are low, [G]
there's still some left for [A] giving
[G]
I've been [F#m] many places, [G] maybe not as far as [A] you
[G] [D]
So I think [A] I'll stay a while, [E] [G]
see [A] if some dreams [D] come
There [G]
isn't much [D] that I have learned, [G] and oh [A] my [D]
foolishness
[G]
Except that life just [F#m] runs inside, whose [Em]
first is laughter, then [A] those tears
But
[D]
I [A] keep my head up high, [G]
though I'm kind [A] of tired
Girl [D]
got up [A] and left last week, [E] [G]
Friday I [A] got fired
[G]
No it's [F#m] almost funny, [G] things can't get worse than [A] now
[D]
But I [A] keep on trying to sing, [Em] [G]
please [A] don't just ask me [D] how
