Intro:Am-Em-Am-Em  (x2)

Am                             Dm       Am-Em-Am-Em
What’s in a life, if you don’t live it, baby.
         Am                            Dm      G
Its just getting on by, with a promise what if maybe.
D               C                        G                          
Hanging around, waiting for something to fall,
     D                    C                G     A
When once in a while, the paper smile must come away.
Am                             Dm       Am-Em-Am-Em
What’s in a life, if you don’t live it, baby.

Am                             Dm       Am-Em-Am-Em
What’s in a kiss, if you can’t feel it, baby.
    Am                                    Dm           G
The lips may be sweet, but are they sweet enough to, contain it.
D                  C                     G
Wasting your time, hanging outta windows panting
      D                    C                G        A
Ahhh, once in a while, the paper smile must come and go

And where it blows, who knows? And where it goes it goes,
                   D    C   G                        D    C   F-A
I’m glad to see it gooooOOOOoooo, I’m glad to see it gooooOOOOoooo
Am                              Dm     Am-Em-Am-Em
What’s in a dream, if you can’t be it, baby.
