Tabbed by Garth B.

I want you to know, it aint no sin
That I'm right here where I started from
To do it all over again

             C5    E5
But that's life,      that's what all the people say
A5                          D5
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
C5           E5           A5
But I guess I, I gotta change that tune
D5                      G5
When I'm back on top, on top in June


C5             E5
That's life,     as funny as it may seem
A5                          D5
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
C5            E5         A5
But I never, I never let it get me down
D5                G5                                 C5  C5   F5  C5
As sure as this big old world, keeps spinnin' 'round

C5                                         C5
I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate, poet, pawn and a king
F5                                        F5
I've been up and down and over and out but I know one thing
D5
Every time I feel that I'm gonna fall flat on my face
G5                   G5          G5          G5
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

C5           E5
That's life, there's no need to deny it
A5                           D5
I thought of cuttin out once, but this old heart just ain't gonna buy it
C5             E5                  A5
But I know    that it would worth one single sign
D5                          G5              C5   F5  C5
I'd get up on that big bird and then I'd fly

C5                                         C5
I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate, poet, pawn and a king
           F5                           F5
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
D5
Every time I feel that I'm gonna fall flat on my face
G5              G5          Ab5
I pick myself up and get back in the race

C#5            F5
That's life, and I can't deny it
Bb5                                  Eb5
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
C#5                    F5                      Bb5
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
              
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball, etc...
