Life Is A Play chords by Toby Keith

Intro:
G D Em C X 2

Verse:
G       D         C        D
Lookin' back on my younger days
G          D            C       D
Life was a play and the world a stage
G              D          C     D
Lust  love and greed were in my heart
  C                          D
I thought I had to play each part

G        D          C        D
I'd skip school and get in a fight
G               D          C      D
Had a different girl every Friday night
G          D/F#      Em
But it all came out in the wash
C               D            G
Dad always said boys will be boys

Pre-Chorus:
C                         Bm
And Mom and dad backed me through it all
C                 Bm
Picked me up each time I'd fall
Am                     G
In fact they called it growing pains
         C             D
And said all kids must try such things

Chorus:
G            D          C          D
They kept the faith and brought me through
G       D         C       D
I still make a mistake or two
G       D/F#       Em
Lookin' back on my younger days
C                   D           G      D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C
Life was a play and the world a stage

Verse:
G         D        C       D
I lost my driver's license twice
G        D          C        D
For speeding and running red lights
G        D          C         D
But like all kids I lived and learned
C                         D
Play with fire and you'll get burned

G            D      C       D
I bucked the system day and night
G      D              C         D
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
G                D/F#      Em
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
C               D            G
It's clear to me now I was a fool

Pre-Chorus:
C                         Bm
And Mom and dad backed me through it all
C                 Bm
Picked me up each time I'd fall
Am                     G
In fact they called it growing pains
         C             D
And said all kids must try such things

Chorus:
G            D          C          D
They kept the faith and brought me through
G       D         C       D
I still make a mistake or two
G       D/F#       Em
Lookin' back on my younger days
C                   D           G     C  G
Life was a play and the world a stage

Em                     Bm
Yeah everything turned out ok
C               D               G
Life was a play and the world a stage
