Life Goes On chords by Melissa Etheridge

• Key: D

Intro:

D



Verse:

D
When I woke up this morning
A
It was 2002
G
What happened to me
         D
What has happened to you

We were fresh and brave

We were not afraid
        A
We were tan and cool

We were lemonade
         G
We would dance all night
              D
And sleep all day
             G
With my hair shaved back in a pink Cadillac
D
Keepin’ the boys on the run
G
Strummin’ my ten string

Diggin’ the club scene
A
Girls just wanna have fun


Chorus:

D        G
We never knew

Sha la la life goes on
D           G
It would be true

Sha la la life goes on
Em                A
There was nothing wrong
Em        A         D
Funny how life goes on


Verse 2:

D
Well the love was free

And the beat was fast
       A
It was here and now

But it would never last
         G
It was a sexual healing
       D
Of our secret past

What we didn’t know

Couldn’t hurt us now
          A
We were invisible

We were underground
           G
They never gave a damn
         D
About us anyhow
      G
All I wanna be is on MTV
     D
I am coming out in my Mercury
       G
It was so tricky gonna be sticky
   A
Oh Mickey you’re so fine


Chorus 2:

D        G
We never knew

Sha la la life goes on
D           G
It would be true

Sha la la life goes on
Em                A
There was nothing wrong
Em        A         D
Funny how life goes on
