Verse:
G7G7
I remember when I was a very little girl
C7C7
Our house caught on fire
G7G7
I'll never forget the look on my father's face
C7C7
As he gathered me up in his arms
C majorC
And raced through the burning building onto the pavement
FF D MajorD
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas
G7G7 C majorC
And watched the whole world go up in flames
FF C majorC
And when it was all over I said to myself
A#A# C majorC
"Is that all there is to a fire?"
Chorus:
C majorC G7G7
Is that all there is?
G7G7
Is that all there is?

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze and have a ball

If that's all there is
Verse:
C minorCm
And when I was 12 years old
D#D#
My daddy took me to the circus,
C minorCm D#D#
The greatest show on earth
C minorCm D#D#
There were clowns and elephants, dancing bears
A#A#
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
C minorCm D#D#
As I sat there watching
C minorCm D#D#
I had the feeling that something was missing
C minorCm
I don't know what
D#D#
When it was all over I said to myself
A#A#
"Is that all there is to the circus?"
Chorus:
G7G7
Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is
Verse:
C minorCm D#D#
And then I fell in love
C minorCm D#D#
With the most wonderful boy in the world
C minorCm
We'd take long walks down by the river
D#D# A#A#
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
C minorCm
We were so very much in love
D#D#
Then one day he went away
C minorCm D#D#
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't
C minorCm D#D#
And when I didn't, I said to myself
A#A#
"Is that all there is to love?"

Verse:
C minorCm D#D#
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
C minorCm D#D#
"If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?"
C minorCm D#D#
Oh, no. Not me
A#A#
I'm not ready for that final disappointment
C minorCm D#D#
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
C minorCm D#D#
And when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
A#A#
I'll be saying to myself
Chorus:
G7G7
Is that all there is?
G7G7
Is that all there is?
G7G7 Cm7Cm7
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
