This Is Life Merry Christmas

E

[Verse 1]
A
Things can get so bad I know
    D
But things could always be worse
E                                 
There's a blessing tucked inside 
  A
of each and every curse
A
You could be a selfish fool
    D
And somehow not be selfish enough
E
Your glass could be half full
             A N.C.
But you have already drank way too 
much

[Chorus]
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas
        D             E    A
This is life, this is life

[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
A
Oh, how humor
                        D
You burst the bubble of all our 
hidden pain
E
Oh, how humor
                          A
You clever mother, you're keeping 
everybody sane
A
Oh, how laughter
                     D
You make us bastards feel some kind 
of joy
E
Like a golden token
                          A
We find we're not broken, like some 
cheap little toy

[Chorus]
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas

[Verse 3]
A
Time is so fleeting
I hope that you're reading 
D
everything in between the lines
E
Life can have meaning
                             A
If you keep dreaming all the way 
through the days and the nights
I saw you cry a little, in the 
       D
middle of a story you once told
E                                 
You're a thing of beauty, and 
                  A
we're all rooting for you not to 
fold

[Out-Chorus]
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas
        D             E           
This is life, this is life, Merry 
A
Christmas
