[F] [Bb] [Em]
I remember when I was a little girl, our [C] house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on [Em] my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms and
[C] raced to the burning building out of the pavement.
[F] And I stood there, [Em] shivering in my pajamas and [G]
watched the whole [C] world go up in flames.
[F] And when it was all over, I said [C] to myself,
[Bb] Is that all there is to a fire?
[G] Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, [C] [G] then let's [Gm] keep dancing.
[Cm] Let's break out the booze [Ebm] and have [Bb] a ball.
[A] If that's all [Eb]
[D] there is.
[Bb]
[Cm] And when I was twelve years [Eb] old, my daddy took me to the circus, [Cm] the greatest show on earth.
[Eb] There were clowns and [Cm] elephants and dancing bears, and a beautiful [Ebm] lady in [Eb] pink tights
flew [Bb] high above our heads.
[Cm] And as I sat [Eb] there, watching, [Eb]
[Cm] I had the feeling that [G] something was [Eb] missing.
I don't know what, but [Cm] when it was all over, I said to myself,
[Eb] [C] [Eb]
[Bb] Is that all there is to the circus?
[G] Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my [C] friends, then [G] let's keep [Gm] dancing.
[Cm] Let's break out the [Ab] booze and [Ebm] have [Bb] a ball.
[G] If that's [A] all [Eb] there [D]
is.
[Bb] [C] [G]
And then I fell [Ebm] in love with the most [Eb] wonderful boy in the world.
[Ebm] We'd take long walks [Gm] down by the river, or [Eb] [Ebm] just sit for [Bb] hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so [Gm] very much in [C] love.
[Bb] [Eb] And then one [C] day, he went away, [Eb] and I thought I'd die, [Ebm] but I didn't.
[Bb] [Eb] And when I [Ebm] didn't, I said to [Bb] myself, Is that all there is to love?
Is [G] that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my [Bbm] [F] friends, [G] then let's keep
I [Eb] know what you must be saying [Ebm] to yourselves.
[G] If that's the way she feels [Eb] about him, [Ebm] why doesn't she just end it [Cm] all?
[G] Oh [Cm] no, [Eb] not [Ebm] me.
I'm not [Bb] ready for that final disappointment.
[Gm] Because I know, [Cm] [Eb] just as well as I'm standing here talking [Ab] to you,
[Ebm]
[Gm] that when that final moment comes and I'm [Ebm] breathing my last breath,
[Dm] I'll be saying to myself,
Is that all [Em] there is?
Is that [B] all there is?
If [G] that's all there is, my friends, [C] [G] then let's [Eb] keep dancing.
[Cm] Let's break out the booze and [Abm] [Ebm] have [Bb] a ball.
If [A] that's all [D] there
[G] [Gm] is.
