G7
I remember when I was a very little girl
C7
Our house caught on fire
G7
I'll never forget the look on my father's face
C7
As he gathered me up in his arms
C
And raced through the burning building onto the pavement
F D
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas
G7 C
And watched the whole world go up in flames
F C
And when it was all over I said to myself
A# C
"Is that all there is to a fire?"
[Chorus]
C G7
Is that all there is?
G7
Is that all there is?
G7 Cm7
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
F7 Cm7 D#m7 A#
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
A7 D#7 D7
If that's all there is
[Verse]
Cm
And when I was 12 years old
D#
My daddy took me to the circus,
Cm D#
The greatest show on earth
Cm D#
There were clowns and elephants, dancing bears
A#
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
Cm D#
As I sat there watching
Cm D#
I had the feeling that something was missing
Cm
I don't know what
D#
When it was all over I said to myself
A#
"Is that all there is to the circus?"
[Chorus]
G7
Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze and have a ball
A7 D#7 D7
If that's all there is
[Verse]
Cm D#
And then I fell in love
Cm D#
With the most wonderful boy in the world
Cm
We'd take long walks down by the river
D# A#
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
Cm
We were so very much in love
D#
Then one day he went away
Cm D#
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't
Cm D#
And when I didn't, I said to myself
A#
"Is that all there is to love?"

G7
Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep....
[Verse]
Cm D#
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
Cm D#
"If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?"
Cm D#
Oh, no. Not me
A#
I'm not ready for that final disappointment
Cm D#
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
Cm D#
And when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
A#
I'll be saying to myself
[Chorus]

Is that all there is?
