transpose chords -3 and use Capo 3 for easier chords.

[Intro]
DmDm C majorC A#A#  C majorC  DmDm x2

DmDm  C majorC  A#A# C majorC    DmDm
Hey, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh x2

[Verse 1]
DmDm                   C majorC         FF
Let me get straight to it, I've bit off more than I could chew
                        A#A#
I felt the sting and slap of failure missed my due
                       C majorC
Like a hard knife, cutting through a slice of ego of ambition yeah, put me off my mission
DmDm                  C majorC   FF
I've been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt, taking this and that 'cause I had so much hurt,
    A#A#
I'm not plying you with liquor for your tongue to get a flicker
    C majorC
I just need to tell my story, if you're drunk I'll get done quicker

[Chorus]
DmDm  C majorC  A#A#           C majorC             DmDm
Hey, hey, gotta keep the hope up, gotta keep your eye on the prize
DmDm  C majorC  A#A#            C majorC              DmDm
Hey, hey, gotta keep the highs up, I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size
     DmDm      C majorC  A#A#              C majorC         DmDm
There is more to this life, I must believe it, there is more to this life
     DmDm      C majorC  A#A#              C majorC         DmDm
There is more to this life, I must believe it, there is more to this life?

[Verse 2]
DmDm                     C majorC        FF
Let me get straight to it, there's more explaining I could do
                    A#A#
But I am here just for diversion as are you, don't mean to jump the gun,?
                  C majorC
But we could have some fun, there's little sense in dishing since I've noticed you're not listening
DmDm                   FF                      A#A#
Ooo-oo-oooh, I'm feeling fairly lucky,   I've been surfing shadows of success in my dreams,
               C majorC
And yes I know my guard's down, but I don't mind it for you, see

[Chorus]
DmDm  C majorC  A#A#           C majorC             DmDm
Hey, hey, gotta keep the hope up, gotta keep your eye on the prize
DmDm  C majorC  A#A#            C majorC              DmDm
Hey, hey, gotta keep the highs up, I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size
     DmDm      C majorC  A#A#              C majorC         DmDm
There is more to this life, I must believe it, there is more to this life
     DmDm      C majorC  A#A#              C majorC         DmDm
There is more to this life, I must believe it, there is more to this life?

[Bridge]
DmDm C majorC A#A#  C majorC   DmDm
Ooo-oo-oooh, ooo-oo-oooh x2
DmDm  C majorC  A#A# C majorC    DmDm
Hey, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh  x2

[Chorus]
DmDm  C majorC  A#A#           C majorC             DmDm
Hey, hey, gotta keep the hope up, gotta keep your eye on the prize
DmDm  C majorC  A#A#            C majorC              DmDm
Hey, hey, gotta keep the highs up, I'm an optimist of the most dangerous size
     DmDm      C majorC  A#A#              C majorC         DmDm
There is more to this life, I must believe it, there is more to this life
     DmDm      C majorC  A#A#              C majorC         DmDm
There is more to this life, I must believe it, there is more to this life?

[Outro]
DmDm C majorC A#A#  C majorC  DmDm x2
