Josef Salvat – This Life
Dm C
Hey, hey, hey, eh eh eyy
Verse:
Dm C
Let me get straight to it, I've bit off more than I could chew
Bb
I felt the sting and slap of failure missed my due
Gm
like a hard knife, cutting through a slice of ego of ambition yeah put me off my mission
Dm C
I've been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt, taking this and that 'cause I had so much hurt,
Bb
I'm not plying you with liquor for your tongue to get a flicker
Gm
I just need to tell my story if you're drunk I'll get done quicker.
Chorus:
Dm C Bb C
Hey hey gotta keep the hope up gotta keep your eye on the prize
Dm C Bb
Hey hey gotta keep the highs up, I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size
Dm Bb
There is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life.
Dm
there is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life.
Verse II:
Dm C
Let me get straight to it, there's more explaining I could do
Bb
but I am here just for diversion as are you
don't mean to jump the gun, but we could have some fun
Gm
there's little sense in dishing since I've noticed you're not listening
Bridge:
Dm C Bb
I'm feeling fairly lucky, I've been surfing shadows of success in my dreams,
Gm
and yes I know my guard's down, but I don't mind it for you, see.
Chorus:
Dm C Bb C
Hey hey gotta keep the hope up gotta keep your eye on the prize
Dm C Bb
Hey hey gotta keep the highs up, I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size
Dm Bb
There is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life. (x2)
