[Verse 1]
G
My life is like a video game,
Em
Trying hard to beat the stage.
C              D                G
All while I am still collecting coins.
G
Trying hard to save the girl,
Em
Obstacles, I'm jumping hurdles.
C                 D        G
I'm growing up to be a big boy.

[Verse 2]
G
I battle with the evil ways,
  Em
I travel far, and try and save,
C              D              G
Sorry but your princess isn't here.
G
I take a rest, I push the pause,
Em
Level up, and move along
C                      D            G
In hopes that the next stage I will clear.

(I fucking passed asshole!)

[Pre-Chorus]
C                  D
I'm just trying to keep from dying

[Chorus]
G                        Em
It's just a game that we play

And for heaven's sake
C                    D
Looking for a better way to play it!
G                   Em
Life is for keeping score and forever more,
C                D                  G
Stop complaining and start changing it.

G Em C D

[Verse 3]
G
Today I went to therapy,
Em
Told him my embarrassing
C               D              G
Issues that I'm having with my life.
G
He told me that I need to change,
Em
Life is not a video game.
   C                D            G
So stop playing and open up your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
C                  D
I'm just trying to keep from dying

[Chorus]
G                        Em
It's just a game that we play

And for heaven's sake
C                    D
Looking for a better way to play it!
G                   Em
Life is for keeping score and forever more,
C                D
Stop complaining and start changing it.

[Bridge]
C
Don't talk about it,
D
Just be about it,
G                    Em
Don't ever doubt it even when your brain is clouding.
C
I may be crazy,
D
But life's amazing
G                   Em
And through it all even with your problems facing.
C       D        G (single strum into closing verse)
So just know its okay.

[Verse 4]
G (continued strum from bridge)
My life is like a video game,
Em
Trying hard to beat the stage.
C              D                G
All while I am still collecting coins.

[Outro Chorus]
G                        Em
It's just a game that we play

And for heaven's sakes
C                    D
Looking for a better way to play it!
G                   Em
Life is for keeping score and forever more,
C                D                  G
Stop complaining and start changing it.
G                        Em
It's just a game that we play

And for heaven's sakes
C                    D
Looking for a better way to play it!
G                   Em
Life is for keeping score and forever more,
C                D
Stop complaining and start changing...
