[C] [Em] [F] [G]
[C] [Em]
So I'm down and so I'm out
[F] [G]
But so are many others.
[C] [Em]
So I feel like tryin' to hide
[F] [G]
My head 'neath these covers.
[F] [C]
Life is like the seasons,
[F] [C] [G]
After winter comes the spring.
[C] [Em]
So I'll keep this smile awhile
[F] [G] [C]
And see what tomorrow brings.

[C] [Em]
I've been told and I believe
[F] [G]
That life is meant for livin'.
[C] [Em]
So even when my chips are low
[F] [G]
There's still some left for givin'.
[F] [C]
I've been many places
[F] [C] [G]
Maybe not as far as you.
[C] [Em]
So I think I'll stay awhile
[F] [G] [C]
And see if some dreams come true.
[Em] [F] [G]
[F] [C]
There isn't much that I have learned
[F] [C]
Through all my foolish years
[F] [C]
Except that life keeps running in cycles.
[F] [Am] [G]
First there's laughter, then those tears.
[C] [Em]
But I'll keep my head up high
[F] [G]
Although I'm kind of tired.
[C] [Em]
My gal just up and left last week
[F] [G]
And Friday I got fired.
[C] [Em]
You know, it's almost funny
[F] [G]
But things can't get worse than now.
[C] [Em]
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
[F] [G]
But please, just don't ask me how.
