Life Goes On
[Verse 1]
D A D
A friend of mine just had a real bad time.
G D
You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind.
A D
His girl ran off along with his best friend,
G D
And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end.
A
It was such a tragedy,
Bm G
But that's the way it's got to be.
G F#m E D
Life goes on.
[Chorus]
D
Life goes on.
A D
It happens ev'ry day.
So appreciate what you got
G D
Before it's taken away.
Life will hit you
A D
When you're unprepared,
So be grateful and take all
G D
That you can while you're there.
A
Get that frown off your head,
Bm G
'Cause you're a long time dead.
G F#m Em D
Life goes on and on and on.
G F#m Em D
Life goes on and on and on.
[Bridge]
A G Bm
No use runnin' 'round lookin' scared,
A G Bm
Life could get you when you're unaware.
A G Bm
One day it's gonna come, so you better accept it.
Em F#m
Life will hit you when you least expect it.
G F#m E D
And one day when you are gone,
G F#m E D
You know that life will still go on.
G F#m E D
But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong.
G F#m E D
Life will still go on.
[Chorus]
G F#m E D
Life goes on and on and on.
G F#m E D
Life goes on and on and on.
[Verse 2]
D A D
My bank went broke and my well ran dry.
G D
It was almost enough to contemplate suicide.
A D
I turned on the gas, but I soon realized
G D
I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply.
A Bm G
No matter how I try, it seems I'm too young to die.
G F#m E D
Life goes on and on and on.
G F#m E D
Life goes on and on and on.
[Verse 3]
D A D
Tornado, cyclone and hurricane
G D
Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain.
A D
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore,
G D
But the people recover and come back for more.
A Bm G
Somehow the people fight back, even the future looks black.
G F#m E D
Life goes on and on and on.
G F#m E D
Life goes on and on and on.
