_ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Let's hear you. _ _ _
You alright? _ _ _
Okay. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's a story about [G] a [D] friend of mine who had a real hard time.
You see his life was shattered and he lost his mind.
His girl ran off along with his best friend.
And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end.
[A] It was such a tragedy, [Bm] but that's the way it's [G] got to be.
Life [D] goes on.
[A] _ _ [D] _ _
Yeah.
Life _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ goes on.
It happens every day.
So if you see what you've got, there's no reason to be afraid.
[G] Life [D] will hit you when you're not prepared.
So be [G] grateful [D] and take all that you can.
Why would you care?
[A] Get that frown off your head, cause you're [Bm] a long [G] time dead.
_ [D] Life goes on and on and on.
_ Life goes [A] on and [D] on and on.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yeah.
You _ _ _ _ _ [A] know you just run [G] around looking [Bm] scared.
_ _ [A]
Cause life will hit you [G] when you're [Bm] unprepared. _
[A] I know no matter what you do you [G] got to accept [Bm] it.
_ _ _ [E] Life will hit you when you least expect [F#] it. _
[G] And [D] one day when you [Em] are [D] gone, you [G] know that [D] life is going to [Em] go [D] on.
Who will [G] [D] carry the bag [Em] [D] that I'm on?
[G] Cause [D] life is still [A] going [D] _
on. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] [D] Life goes on and [Em] [D] on.
_ _ [G] [D] Life goes on _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
and _ on. _
_ _ You know my bank went broke.
My well ran dry.
[A] It [G] was [D] almost enough to contemplate suicide.
I turned on the gas when I soon realized I [G] hadn't paid [D] my bill.
So they cut off my supply.
[A] No matter how I try, seems [Bm] I'm too [G] young to die.
_ [D] Life goes on and [A] [D] on.
_ _ [G] [D] Life goes [A] on and _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ on.
Johnny _ Saploon, Hurricane.
You can battle the ice [A] with the thunder.
[D] _
_ The lintels can blow.
The waves hit the shore.
And the [D] people in the darkroom can't fight the cold.
[A] So why should people fight back?
[B] Even when the [G] future is black.
Cause life [D] goes on [A] and [D] on.
_ [G] Cause life [D] goes on [A] and [D] on. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Life goes on and on.
Life goes on and on.
Everything's so easy.
But you got to first take a look.
Life will hit you when you're under pressure.
Be grateful and thank God that you got what you've got. _ _
_ _ Life goes on.
_ _ _ Life goes on. _ _ _ _
