Chords with lyrics

verse 1
D MajorD              A augmentedA    D MajorD
A augmentedA friend of mine just had a real bad time.
                    G+G    D MajorD
You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind.
              A augmentedA    D MajorD
His girl ran off along with his best friend,
                      G+G     D MajorD
And through emotional stress he brought his life to an end.
    A augmentedA
It was such a tragedy,
        B minorBm       G+G
But that's the way it's got to be.
G+G  F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD
Life goes on.

D MajorD
Life goes on.
      A augmentedA D MajorD
It happens ev'ry day.

So appreciate what you got
    G+G     D MajorD
Before it's taken away.

Life will hit you
   A augmentedA   D MajorD
When you're unprepared,

So be grateful and take all
       G+G      D MajorD
That you can while you're there.
     A augmentedA
Get that frown off your head,
        B minorBm    G+G
'Cause you're a long time dead.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E minorEm   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E minorEm   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.

Bridge
A augmentedA               G+G    B minorBm
No use runnin' 'round lookin' scared,
A augmentedA               G+G    B minorBm
Life could get you when you're unaware.
A augmentedA                G+G       B minorBm
One day it's gonna come, so you better accept it.
E minorEm                   F# minorF#m
Life will hit you when you least expect it.
G+G        F# minorF#m   E MajorE  D MajorD
And one day when you are gone,
G+G            F# minorF#m  E MajorE D MajorD
You know that life will still go on.
G+G                    F# minorF#m      E MajorE  D MajorD
But no one'll care if you've been good, bad, right or wrong.
G+G        F# minorF#m  E MajorE D MajorD
Life will still go on.

G+G     F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.

verse 2
D MajorD               A augmentedA  D MajorD
My bank went broke and my well ran dry.
            G+G      D MajorD
It was almost enough to contemplate suicide.
              A augmentedA  D MajorD
I turned on the gas, but I soon realized
                 G+G     D MajorD
I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply.
  A augmentedA             B minorBm        G+G
No matter how I try, it seems I'm too young to die.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.

verse 3
D MajorD          A augmentedA    D MajorD
Tornado, cyclone and hurricane
                G+G      D MajorD
Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain.
               A augmentedA    D MajorD
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore,
                G+G    D MajorD
But the people recover and come back for more.
A augmentedA                    B minorBm      G+G
Somehow the people fight back, even the future looks black.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.
G+G     F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD
Life goes on and on and on.
