Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
Well, is life just a walk up a steep hill?
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
You get to the top and then it's all downhill
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
You're spinning 'round like the arms of a windmill
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And you never slow down
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
And is love just a foolish emotion?
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Cadd9[/ch
A Hollywood dream, just a childish notion
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Plenty of fish but I'm miles from the ocean
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
For I'm scared that I'll drown
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
I always thought that I would see it coming
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/B[/ch
Like a train rolling down the line
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
I never dreamed that I would end up running
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Away from myself and out of time
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] ([ch]F#[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Year on year, day by day

Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
[ch]G[/ch]* [ch]Dsus4[/ch]* [ch]Cadd9[/ch]*
And how do you know when it's really crunch time?
[ch]G[/ch]* [ch]Dsus4[/ch]* [ch]Cadd9[/ch]*
You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I fear death could be the final punchline
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Of this comedy show
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
So make 'em laugh before you go
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
I always thought that I would feel it coming
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/B[/ch
Like a storm in a summer sky
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
I thought I'd hear the marching band drumming
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Thought I'd see the fireworks reflect in her eyes
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] ([ch]F#[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Year on year, day by day
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Well, life can drag you under
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
And it can feel so frightening
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Love can steal your thunder
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Em7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Or strike you down with lightning
[ch]Am[/ch]* [ch]D7[/ch]*
And at the end of it you'll say
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
I always thought that I'd see it land
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
And the hairs on the back of my neck would stand
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
But there's no fireworks or marching band
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned, oh
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]D7sus2[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] ([ch]F#[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] ([ch]F#[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Year on year, day by day
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd2[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Year on year, day by day
