People always comin' up to me and askin'

With all you do, your attitude

Just seems to be so good

How do you keep it?"

Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try

To offer up a few words of advice.

 E MajorE
A augmentedA girlfriend came to my house
                   A augmentedA
Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening
     E MajorE
She was spinnin' such a sad tale
                      A augmentedA
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin'
BB                A/D
So negative the words she had to say
    BB           A/D
I said if I had a violin I'd play.

               E MajorE    A augmentedA
I said you'd better get to livin', givin'
   BB
Be willing and forgivin'
      E MajorE   A augmentedA         BB
Cause all healing has to start with you
         E MajorE    A augmentedA
You better stop whining, pining
BB
Get your dreams in line
        E MajorE        A augmentedA
And then just shine, design, refine
     BB
Until they come true
            E MajorE
And you better get to livin'.

Bridge: (Not sure about this part)
G minorGm             Csus2Csus2
Your life's a wreck, your house is mess
      D5D5     Eb MajorEb
And your wardrobe way outdated
G minorGm          Csus2Csus2      D5D5
All your plans just keep on falling through
G minorGm        Csus2Csus2    D5D5    Eb MajorEb
Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
D5D5
I'm no guru, but I'll tell you
BB
This I know is true.

          E MajorE    A augmentedA
You better get to livin', givin'
     BB
A augmentedA little more thought about bein'
         E MajorE   A augmentedA       BB
A augmentedA little more willin' to make a better way
         E MajorE
Don't sweat the small stuff
      A augmentedA
Keep your chin up
    BB
Just hang tough

And if it gets too rough
   A/D        BB
Fall on your knees and pray
   A/D    BB
And do that everyday
           E MajorE
Then you'll get to livin'.

   E MajorE         A augmentedA
The day we're born we start to die
    BB        A/D
Don't waste one minute of this life
 E MajorE    A augmentedA BB
Get to livin'
E MajorE            A augmentedA
Share your dreams and share your laughter
BB             A/D  E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Make some points for the great hereafter.
        E MajorE
Better start carin'
        A augmentedA
Better start sharin'
        BB
Better start tryin'
        E MajorE
Better start smiling
    A augmentedA   BB    E MajorE
And you better get to livin'...
