A Beautiful Life

INTRO:
G    C    G    C


VERSE:
C       G              G
Is like  heart surgery   in an earthquake
G7
  It just occurred to me
G7
Those might be high stakes
C
 To heal what's hurting me
D7                         G    C
 While the world shakes around

 C       G
Well, I'm  waiting here on you
G
 Waiting on the shelf
    G7
I’ve  tried to change what's true
G7
Everything about myself
C
 You wouldn't want me to
D7
  And that's the joke
             G
And I'm the clown


CHORUS:
 G            C
But all this worry
D7                   Bm7     E7
  Well I say it was worth it
                     Am
Well nothing ever is perfect
          D                  G   G7
Still we learn the truth in tiiiiime

      G        C
And though it hurts me
D7                 Bm7       E7
  You know I don't regret it
             Am
So I let it teach me to give
              D
And teach me how to really live
             C   C
A beautiful life


VERSE:
 C       G
I've got  a fire in my heart
 G
And it runs on dreams
G7
  You walked in with a smile like gasoline
Am
   Found myself a wondering
D7                               G   C
  What would it mean to burn it down

C    G
So I  tallied what the cost would be
 G
Counted in my head
G7
It's easy math to me
G7
But I guess instead
C
 You preferred geometry
D7                           G   G
  Need the proof to work it out


CHORUS:
 G            C
But all this worry
D7                    Bm7      E7
  Well you say it was worth it
                      Am
When nothing ever is perfect
         D                  G  G7
Will we learn the truth in tiiiiime

      G        C
And though it hurts me
D7               Bm7            E7
  You know I doooon't regret you
              Am
So I let you teach me to give
             D
And teach me how to really live
             C     D
A beautiful liiiiiiife
 D     Bm       E7          Am7
Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifffffeeeee

OUTRO:
C               Cm   Bm
You know we are blessed
        Bm7          E7
With a birth then a death
                Am
But it's every breath in between
           D
It's our choice for what it really means
                 C    G
For a beautiful life
