A minorAm         E minorEm
It's a pity it's a crying shame
A minorAm       E minorEm
Who pulled you down again
A minorAm     E minorEm
How painful it must be
A minorAm      E minorEm   D MajorD
To bruise so easily inside

A minorAm         E minorEm
Itâ^À^Ùs a pity itâ^À^Ùs a downright crime

A minorAm     E minorEm
It happens all the time
A minorAm           E minorEm
You want to stay little daddyâ^À^Ùs girl

A minorAm            E minorEm      D MajorD    G7G7
You want to hide from the vicious world outside

C majorC     G+G
Donâ^À^Ùt cry

      A minorAm        E minorEm
You know the tears will do no good
      FF  G+G
So dry your eyes

A minorAm       E minorEm
Oh, your daddy heâ^À^Ùs the iron man

A minorAm          E minorEm
A augmentedA battleship wrecked on dry land
A minorAm         E minorEm
Your mamma sheâ^À^Ùs a bitter bride

A minorAm       E minorEm      D MajorD
Sheâ^À^Ùll never be satisfied you know

     G+G    G7G7
And thatâ^À^Ùs not right


  C majorC     G+G

But donâ^À^Ùt cry

A minorAm        E minorEm
You know the tears will do no good
      FF  G+G
So dry your eyes

  C majorC       G+G
Oh, they told you life is hard
A minorAm   E minorEm
Misery from the start
  FF     C majorC     D MajorD   G7G7
Itâ^À^Ùs dull itâ^À^Ùs slow itâ^À^Ùs painful

  C majorC     G+G
But, I tell you life is sweet
A minorAm       E minorEm
In spite of the misery
    FF    C majorC    D MajorD
Thereâ^À^Ùs so much more be grateful

   FF  C majorC    D MajorD
Well, who do you believe?
FF          C majorC       D MajorD
Who will you listen to who will it be?
      FF  C majorC        D MajorD
Because it's high time that you decide
    G+G
In your own mind

A minorAm      E minorEm
I've tried to comfort you
A minorAm      E minorEm       D MajorD
I've tried to tell you to be patient
  D7D7
That they are blind and they canâ^À^Ùt see

A minorAm      E minorEm
Fortune gonna come one day
A minorAm        E minorEm
They're all gonna fade away
A minorAm       E minorEm
Your daddy the war machine
A minorAm         E minorEm    D MajorD
And your momma the long and suffering
G+G              C majorC
Prisoner of what she can not see

SOLO:
C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  E minorEm

FF  C majorC  D MajorD   G7G7

  C majorC        G+G
For they've told you life is hard
A minorAm   E minorEm
Misery from the start
FF     C majorC       D MajorD   G7G7
Itâ^À^Ùs dull itâ^À^Ùs slow itâ^À^Ùs painful

  C majorC     G+G
But, I tell you life is sweet
A minorAm       E minorEm
In spite of the misery
    FF    C majorC    D MajorD
Thereâ^À^Ùs so much more be grateful


  FF  C majorC     D MajorD
So, who will you believe?
FF          C majorC       D MajorD
Who will you listen to who will it be?
      FF  C majorC        D MajorD
Because it's high time that you decide
      G+G                   C majorC
Itâ^À^Ùs time to make up your own your own sweet little mind

SOLO:
C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  E minorEm

FF  C majorC  D MajorD   G7G7

 C majorC         G+G
Oh, they've told you life is long
A minorAm     E minorEm
Be thankful when itâ^À^Ùs done

   FF    C majorC    D MajorD    G7G7
Donâ^À^Ùt ask for more be grateful


  C majorC     G+G
But, I tell you life is short
A minorAm     E minorEm
Be thankful because
FF     C majorC        D MajorD  G7G7
Before you know it will be over

'Cause life is sweet
  FF   C majorC    D MajorD  G7G7
Life is oh so very short
  C majorC    G+G  A minorAm  E minorEm

Life is sweet
