        G                B7
That's life, that's what all the people say
       Em                    A
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
        G             B7          Em
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
          A                           D7
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let 'em get me down
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin'
around

Chorus:
             G
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
   G7
a pawn and a king
          C
I've been up and down and
over and out and I know one thing
      A
Each time I find myself flat on my face
        D
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, oh, and you know I can't deny it
Many times I thought of quittin' baby,
but my heart won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
Well, I'd hop up on a big bird and then I'd fly

Chorus:
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn, and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and
I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, oh, and you know I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart
won't buy it
And if there's nothin' shakin' here come this July
Well, I'm gonna roll myself in a little ball and
die, oh

That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let 'em get me down
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin'
round
