D                           A        D
A friend of mine just had a real bad time.
                                       G        D
You see, his life was shattered and he lost his mind.
                            A        D
His girl ran off along with his best friend,
                                            G          D

And through emotional stress he 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.

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.

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


G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.
G         F#m    E      D
Life goes on and on and on.


D                              A   D
My bank went broke and my well ran dry.
                        G           D
It was almost enough to contemplate suicide.
                           A    D
I turned on the gas, but I soon realized
                                 G          D
I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply.
   A                          Bm               G
No matter how I try, it seems I'm 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.


D                    A        D
Tornado, cyclone and hurricane
                               G           D
Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain.
                              A       D
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore,
                                G        D
But the people recover and come back for more.
A                                       Bm           G
Somehow the people fight back, 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.
