Tuning: Standard
-Intro-
A C#m F D A E
-Verse I-
A C#m F#
I get myself up every day
D A E
To fight this "woe is me" demeanor
A C#m F#
If things had gone another way
D A E
Now would my grass be any greener?
-Pre Chorus-
Bm A E
And as I'm struggling on my own
Bm A E
I have to think I'm not alone
-Chorus-
A F#
Give and take, we catch our breaks
D E
We all learn to survive
A
But don't look now
F#
said don't look now
D
Cuz here we are,
E
Living the best days of our lives
A F# D E
These are the best days of our lives
-Verse II-
A C#m F#
I fly around the world to spend
D A E
My nights with strangers and their lovers
A C#m F#
I notice happiness depends
D A E
On if we share it with each other
-Pre Chorus-
Bm A E
So when this craziness is through
Bm A E
I'll spend my happiness with you
*Chorus*
-Bridge-
Bm A E
As we're walking through the fire
Bm A E
Isn't it great to be alive?
*Chorus*
-Outro/Chorus-
A F#
Give and take, we catch our breaks
D E
We all learn to survive
A
Oh, but don't look now
F#
I said don't look now
D
Cause here we are,
E
Living the best days of our lives
A F# D E
These are the best days of our lives
Notes:
The chorus should use the barred version of the (A) chord.
The general progression goes something like this:
A C#m F# D A E
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
e| 5 4 2 2 x x
B| 5 5 2 3 2 x
G| 6 6 3 2 2 1
D| 7 6 4 x 2 2
A| 7 4 4 x x 2
E| 5 4 2 x x x
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want, you can add a little lick after the E chord, harder to do on the
guitar than the piano.
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|---------2----------2---------------|
A|---2h4--------2h4-------------------|
E|------------------------------------|
