Is That All There Is

G7
I remember when I was a very little 
girl
           C7
Our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my 
 G7
father's face
         C7
As he gathered me up in his arms
     C
And raced through the burning 
building onto the pavement
F                 D
And I stood there shivering in my 
pajamas
   G7                 C
And watched the whole world go up in
 flames
                   F       C
And when it was all over I said to 
myself
A#                         C
"Is that all there is to a fire?"


[Chorus]
C                   G7
Is that all there is?
G7
Is that all there is?
G7                                
If that's all there is my friends,
                 Cm7
 then let's keep dancing
      F7            Cm7      D#m7
Let's break out the booze and 
    A#
have a ball
          A7  D#7    D7
If that's all  there is


[Verse]
    Cm
And when I was 12 years old
    D#
My daddy took me to the circus,
    Cm               D#
The greatest show on earth
           Cm                   
There were clowns and elephants, 
      D#
dancing bears
      A#
And a beautiful lady in pink tights 
flew high above our heads
Continues after the ad
Cm              D#
As I sat there watching
          Cm                       
I had the feeling that something 
   D#
was missing
              Cm
I don't know what
                       D#
When it was all over I said to 
myself
A#
"Is that all there is to the 
circus?"


[Chorus]
                   G7
Is that all there is?
G7
Is that all there is?
G7                                
If that's all there is my friends,
                 Cm7
 then let's keep dancing
      F7            Cm7      D#m7
Let's break out the booze and 
    A#
have a ball
          A7  D#7  D7
If that's all  there is


[Verse]
   Cm              D#
And then I fell in love
         Cm                        
With the most wonderful boy in the 
    D#
world
We'd take long walks down by the 
    Cm
river
               D#                
Or just sit for hours gazing into 
    A#
each other's eyes
                             Cm
We were so very much in love
                   D#
Then one day he went away
Cm                     D#
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't
Cm                 D#
And when I didn't, I said to myself
A#
"Is that all there is to love?"


[Coda]
                   G7
Is that all there is?
G7
Is that all there is?
G7                                
If that's all there is my friends,
                 Cm7
 then let's keep....


[Verse]
Cm                       D#
I know what you must be saying to 
yourselves
 Cm                                
"If that's the way she feels about 
   D#
it, why doesn't she just end it 
all?"
Cm      D#
Oh, no. Not me
                       A#
I'm not ready for that final 
disappointment
Cm                             
Cause I know just as well as I'm 
   D#
standing here talking to you
 Cm                                
And when that final moment comes 
      D#
and I'm breathing my last breath,
A#
I'll be saying to myself


[Chorus]
                   G7
Is that all there is?
G7
Is that all there is?
G7                                
If that's all there is my friends,
                 Cm7
 then let's keep dancing
      F7            Cm7      D#m7
Let's break out the booze and 
    A#
have a ball
          A7  D#7  D7
If that's all  there is
