Intro:
G C G C

Verse:
    G       C         D        G
It's a strange life, no matter how you shake it, it's a strange life
C        D       G         C
Some of us can't take it so we turn and do other things.
          D        G         C
Like money love and trouble and the feelin's that they bring
D         G     C
But they'll drop you where they found you when the next bell rings
G               D
And they can drop you right up against the wall.

Refrain:
 C        D          G          C
Tomorrow you might change your mind but now you're standin' in that line
G        D         G
Ain't it just a strange life after all?

Verse:
             C        D       G
It's a strange life, you keep your head together, it's a strange life
C        D       G     C
You learn to see forever, in a new day comin' in
D       G       C
And nothing's ever easy 'cept the water and the wind
D       G          C
And the boys upstairs will find a way to change that if they can
G                D
And they'll tell you there's a reason for it all.

Refrain:
   C        D          G         C
And tomorrow you might change you mind but now you're working overtime
G        D         G
Ain't it just a strange life after all?

Verse:
    D          C       G
It's a good life, when she puts her arms around you
C        G         C         D
You think love has finally found you, and it shakes you to the bone.
  C       D         G      C
Somehow you always knew you'd have to go this one alone
D        G      C
And all that's left of all that now is memories and bones
G               D
And you're listenin' for footsteps in the hall.

Refrain:
   C        D          G         C
And tomorrow you might change you mind but now you're doing' lonely time
G        D         G
Ain't it just a strange life after all?

Interlude:
G C D Em Bm C D G

Verse:
              C        D        G
It's a strange life, we got kings and we got peasants it's a strange life
  C          D        G       C
Sometimes it's damned unpleasant just to deal with it again
D         G        C
'Cause when you think you're home you're on the outside lookin' in
D        G      C
When it comes to bein' anywhere that's anywhere my friend
G                D
And we are all just beggars at this ball.

Refrain:
   C        D          G         C
And tomorrow you might change you mind but now you're on the boarder line
G        D         G
And ain't it just a strange life after all?

Refrain:
   C        D          G         C
And tomorrow you might change you mind but now you're on the boarder line
G        D         G
Ain't it just a strange life after all?
