F Gm
Like one of those fireflies
Bb C
Oh, it looks so good till it's in your hand
F Gm
It's like one of those memories
Bb C
Where you can't let go but you just can't stand
F Gm
It's like one of those crazy dreams
Bb C
And the permanent screens in the magazines
F
Saying, "why'd I love?
Gm Bb C
All it does is break your heart"
[Chorus]
G D
One morning does it all add up?
C
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?
G D
You're getting close to giving up
C G D
And a big old wave knocks you down into the other side every time
C
Love or lie, live or die
G D C
I, I, I, well, I guess that's life
[Verse 2]
F Gm
Like one of those people
Bb C
With the beautiful eyes and the perfect face
F Gm
It's like one of those stories
Bb C
Where the hero dies in the very last race
F Gm
Like one of those endless cries
Bb C
And the crazy lies of a hurting child
F Gm
Saying,"why did love have to hurt?
Bb C
It broke my heart"
[Chorus]
G D
One morning does it all add up?
C
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?
G D
You're getting close to giving up
C G D
And a big old wave knocks you down into the darkest side every time
C
Love or lie, live or die
G D C
I, I, I, well, I guess that's life
[Instrumental]
G D C x3
[Bridge]
F Gm
I always liked to think
Bb C
That I was always brave enough
F Gm Bb
To try to master any push and shove
C Gm F
Well I guess I never qualified love
[Chorus]
G D
One morning does it all add up?
C
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?
G D
You're getting close to giving up
C G D
And a big old wave knocks you down into the other side every time
C
Love or lie, live or die
G D C G D C
I, I, I, well, I guess that's life
G D C G D C
Oh, I guess that's life
G
Well, I guess that's life
