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?

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?
