Life Goes On

D                           A    
A friend of mine just had a real 
    D
bad time.
You see, his life was shattered and 
   G        D
he lost his mind.
                            A      
His girl ran off along with his 
  D
best friend,
And through emotional stress he 
            G          D
brought his life to an end.
       A
It was such a tragedy,
               Bm              G
But that's the way it's got to be.
G    F#m  E  D
Life goes on.

[Chorus]
D
Life goes on.
           A  D
It happens ev'ry day.

So appreciate what you got
       G          D
Before it's taken away.

Life will hit you
     A      D
When you're unprepared,

So be grateful and take all
             G            D
That you can while you're there.

         A
Get that frown off your head,
                Bm        G
'Cause you're a long time dead.
G         F#m    Em     D
Life goes on and on and on.
G         F#m    Em     D
Life goes on and on and on.

[Bridge]
A                           
No use runnin' 'round lookin' 
  G       Bm
scared,
A                            
Life could get you when you're 
  G       Bm
unaware.
A                             
One day it's gonna come, so you 
  G             Bm
better accept it.
Em                             
Life will hit you when you least 
         F#m
expect it.
G                F#m     E   D
And one day when you are gone,
G                       F#m   E  D
You know that life will still go on.
G                                 
But no one'll care if you've been 
      F#m           E    D
good, bad, right or wrong.
G               F#m    E  D
Life will still go on.

[Chorus]
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.

[Verse 2]
D                              A  
My bank went broke and my well ran 
 D
dry.
                        G          
It was almost enough to contemplate
 D
 suicide.
                           A   
I turned on the gas, but I soon 
 D
realized
                                 G 
I hadn't settled my bill so they 
         D
cut off my supply.
   A                          Bm  
No matter how I try, it seems I'm 
             G
too young to die.
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.

[Verse 3]
D                    A        D
Tornado, cyclone and hurricane
Can batter the houses with the 
G           D
thunder and rain.
                              A  
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit 
     D
the shore,
                                G  
But the people recover and come 
      D
back for more.
A                                 
Somehow the people fight back, 
      Bm           G
even the future looks black.
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.
