The Kinks - Life goes on

^DA friend of mine just had a ^Areal bad ^Dtime. You see, his life was shattered and he ^Glost his ^Dmind. His girl ran off along with ^Ahis best ^Dfriend, And through emotional stress he brought his ^Glife to an ^Dend. It was ^Asuch a tragedy, But that's the ^Bmway it's got to ^Gbe. ^GLife ^F#mgoes ^Eon.^D

^DLife goes on. It happens ^Aev'^Dry day.

Before ^Git's taken ^Daway. Life will hit you When ^Ayou're ^Dunprepared,

That you can ^Gwhile you're ^Dthere. Get that ^Afrown off your head, 'Cause you're a ^Bmlong time ^Gdead. ^GLife goes ^F#mon and ^Emon and ^Don. ^GLife goes ^F#mon and ^Emon and ^Don.

^ANo use runnin' 'round lookin' ^Gscared, ^{Bm A}Life could get you when you're ^Gunaware.^{Bm A}One day it's gonna come, so you ^Gbetter accept ^Bmit. ^EmLife will hit you when you least expect ^F#mit. ^GAnd one day when ^F#myou are ^Egone^D, ^GYou know that life will ^F#mstill ^Ego ^Don. ^GBut no one'll care if you've been good, ^F#mbad, right or ^Ewrong^D. ^GLife will still ^F#mgo on. ^{E D}

^DMy bank went broke and my well ^Aran ^Ddry. It was almost enough to ^Gcontemplate ^Dsuicide. I turned on the gas, but I ^Asoon ^Drealized I hadn't settled my bill so they ^Gcut off my ^Dsupply. No ^Amatter how I try, it seems ^BmI'm too young to ^Gdie. ^GLife goes ^F#mon and ^Eon and ^Don. ^GLife goes ^F#mon and ^Eon and ^Don.

^DTornado, cyclone and ^Ahurricane^D Can batter the houses with the ^Gthunder and ^Drain. Blizzards can blow; the waves ^Ahit the ^Dshore, But the people recover and come ^Gback for ^Dmore. ^ASomehow the people fight back, even the ^Bmfuture looks ^Gblack. ^GLife goes ^F#mon and ^Eon and ^Don. ^GLife goes ^F#mon and ^Eon and ^Don.
