Intro:


C#*, C#, A, E, G#        (*Only lay down your fingers on the strings 
                           and mute them)


Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/amy_macdonald/this_is_the_life_crd_ver_8.html ]
      C#   
Oh the wind whistles down
A
On the cold dark street tonight 
          E                             G#
And the people they are dancing to the music vibe 
          C#
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair 
A
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there 
          E
And the songs they get louder 
                       Em
Each one better than before 



Chorus (2x):
                        C#
And you're singing the songs 
                     
Thinking this is the life 
                         A
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size 
                   E
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? 
                         G#
Where you gonna sleep tonight? 



Verse 2:
        C#
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four 
A
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door 
E                                       G#
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four 
C#
So you're sitting there with nothing to do 
A
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew 
E                                                       G#
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight 

[Chorus]
