[Verse]
Look at this big eyed fish swimming in the sea oh
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he's dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus]  [Em]    [C]    [G]    [Bm]

[Em]But oh [C]God
[G]Under the we[Bm]ight of life
[Em]Things [C]seem [G]brighter on the [Bm]other side
-------------------------------------------------------
[Verse]
You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue - purple, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded the man would not concede
And now he's dead you see the silly man should know you got to breathe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
[Em]Oh [C]God
[G]Under the we[Bm]ight of life
[Em]Things [C]seem [G]brighter on the [Bm]other side

[Em]Oh [C]God
[G]Under the we[Bm]ight of life
[Em]Things [C]seem [G]brighter on the [Bm]other side

[G]Nooo [C]waayyyy . . . [G]No [C]waayyy . . .
[G]Nooo [C]waayyy . . . [D/F#]out . . . [Dsus/F#]of  . . .
[Em]here [C] [G] [Bm]  - [Em] [C] [G] [Bm]
-------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse]
You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree
One day decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now lost tired living in the street
As good as dead you see what a monkey does stay up your tree
-------------------------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
[Em]Oh [C]God
[G]Under the we[Bm]ight of life
[Em]Things [C]seem [G]brighter on the [Bm]other side

[Em]Oh [C]God
[G]Under the we[Bm]ight of life
[Em]Things [C]seem [G]brighter on the [Bm]other side

[G]Nooo [C]waayyyy . . . [G]No [C]waayyy . . .
[G]Nooo [C]waayyy . . . [D/F#]out . . . [Dsus/F#]of  . . .
[Em]here [C] [G] [Bm]  - [Em] [C] [G] [Bm]
