intro: Dmaj7 Fadd9 x8

Dmaj7 Em/A
Why do we have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real Neurotic scene

Bm7     E9     A                     Dmaj7 Fadd9 x2
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah


Dmaj7 Em/A
Why does my girl tell me she's got to Have her way
Out all night, come home to fight What am I to say

Bm7     E9     A                     Dmaj7 Fadd9 x2
I don't know, why do we take it each day

Fmaj7 
Life is what it is

Em                            Eb               
Who wants to try not to believe
              D9-3
That's the way it is

4x467, 4x456, 4x445, 4x454
I don't know why what you feel inside

4x467, 4x456, 4x445, 4x454
Love is something that you just can't hide

A/F#                     D/B
Then you'll want to know, you don't know why

Esus4                         E/A
And it helps me yet I'll get by

4x467, 4x456, 4x445, 4x454
Lost in time sometimes your mind unwinds

4x467, 4x456, 4x445, 4x454
But no pleasure from your beauty's mine

A/F#                     D/B
A bitter taste that's so refined

Esus4                     E/A
You always pay for what's behind

Dmaj7 Em/A
Why do I have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real Neurotic scene

Bm7     E9     A                     Dmaj7 Fadd9 x2
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah

Life is what it is
Em                            Eb

4x467, 4x456, 4x445, 4x454
