This Is Life Merry Christmas

E

[Verse 1]
A
Things can get so bad I know
    D
But things could always be worse
E                                   A
There's a blessing tucked inside 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           A
This is life, this is life, Merry 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           A
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
        D             E           A
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

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

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