_ A friend of mine just had a real bad time.
You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind.
His girl ran off along with his best friend,
and through emotional stress he brought his life to a whim.
[A] It was such a tragedy, but [Bm] that's the way it's [G] got to be.
Life [D] goes on.
[G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] [D] Life goes on.
It happens every day, so appreciate what you've got
before it's taken away.
_ Life will hit you when you're unprepared,
so be grateful and take all that you can while you're there.
Get [A] that phone off your head, because [Bm] you're a long [G] time dead.
[D] Life goes on [G] and [D] on and on.
_ [G] [F#m] Life goes [D] on [G] and on [D] and on.
[G] [D] Yeah. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] No [G] use running around looking [Bm] scared, _
_ [A] because life will get you [G] when you're [Bm] unaware. _ _
One [A] day it's going [G] to come, so you better [Bm] accept it. _
_ [E] Life will hit you when you least [F#] expect it.
[G] And one [D] day when you [Em] are gone, [D]
you [G] know that life [D] will still [Em] go on.
[D]
And [G] no one will care if you [D] think [Em] about [D] your health.
[G] Life [D] will still [Em] go on.
[D] _
_ [G] Yeah.

on.
[G] [D] Life goes on and [G] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
on.
[G] The [D] bank went broke and my well ran dry.
It was [G] [D] almost enough to [A] contemplate [D]
suicide.
[G] I [D] turned on the gas, but then I soon
realized I [G] hadn't settled [D] my bill,
so they cut off my supply.
[A] No matter how I try, it [G] seems I'm too young to die.
Life [D] goes on [Em] and on [Bm] and [D] on.
[G] Life [D] goes on [Em] and on [D] and on. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] [D] So I laid a sackcloth on a hurricane
[G] and [D] battered the houses with the thunder and rain.
_ [G] Lizards [D] can float the wings that can
show [G] that the [D] people recover and come back more.
Somehow [A] the people fight back, even [Bm] if the [G] future looks black.
_ [D] Life goes on and [G] on.
[D] _
_ [G] Life [D] goes on and [Em] _ [D] _
on.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [Dm] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ [D] _
_ _ Life goes on and on.
Life goes on and on.
But you got to do what you got to do.
Look into it when you're unaware.
You're greedy, you're a seagull, but you can't hurt your nest. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
