Verse 1:
   C                Em
I will go through this life
             Am        F               C
And never know who I am or why I'm here
              Em                  Am  F
Or what I'm doing, or what I'm doing
             C                Em
But that's okay, its what we do
      Am          F                    C   Em
Everyday, everywhere, all around the world
     Am  F
Uh-huh

Verse 2:
           C
I know my name
           Em           Am                F
Take the word of everything I've ever learned
           C              Em          Am  F
Like my father and my father's father
          C                 Em
It's the way we've always done it
         Am             F  C  Em
And the way we always will
      Am  F
Uh-huh

Chorus:
           C             Em
Making it up, making it all up
         Am               F
I mean, what else can we do?
           C             Em
Making it up, making it all up
            Am               F
That's the only way to get through
               C                   Em
Cause life is hard, but life's alright
          Am                F   C  Em
Cause I'm here with you tonight
Am F C Em        Am F
Mmhmm, yeah yeah

Verse 3:
C                   Em            Am
And Jesus gonna welcome me into heaven
         F       C
When I get there
      Em         Am  F
The day that I die
C      Em                        Am
I can say for sure that I'll be able
      F            C   Em                 Am  F
As well as I am able to look him in the eye
          C           Em          Am          F           C
And say "hey, well I did what I could with what I was given"
       Em              Am             F                C        Em          Am
But surely it isn't much, it's just made to do this living and I lived it up
     F               C       Em          Am  F
And I've been forgiving myself ever since

Verse 4:
           C              Em
Making it up, making it all up
           Am             F
I mean, what else can we do?
               C              Em
Just making it up, making it all up
          Am                F
Now I know this shit ain't cool
                C                 Em
Cause life is hard, but life's alright
           Am              F
Cause I'm here with you tonight
                C  Em            Am  F
And that's alright, that's alright

Verse:
              C       Em      Am                F
And there's more to life, more than what you see
              C                   Em                 Am    F
But if it's true that life's a dream, I wanna keep dreaming
 C    Em             Am  F
Dreaming here with you
         C            Em
I'm alright, I'm alright
       Am         F
And maybe so are you

Maybe so are you
    C          Em
Maybe so are you
    Am          F
Maybe so are you
    C          Em
Maybe so are you
    Am         F
Maybe so are you
    C          Em
