Em
seal my fate
           A4*    A      B7(4)*
I get your tongue in the mail
Em
no one is wise
           A4  A      B7(4)
until they see how it lies
E
love this life
                    C        D
don't wait till the next one comes
E
pedal my faith
               C             B7(4)              G
the wheels are still turning round, turn round

(G)                    C*
and maybe the day will come
                                  C9*
when you'll never have to feel no pain

after all my complaining
      D
gonna love this life
      C
gonna love this life
      D
gonna love this life
      Em
gonna love this life ...


and so they threw you in jail
whatever you've done
it was a million to one
and don't you just love this life
when it's holding you down
pedal my faith
the wheels are still turning round, turn round

and maybe the day will come
when you'll never have to feel no pain
after all my complaining
gonna love this life
gonna love this life ...
      Em
gonna love

                               C
there's something that you can do
                              G
even if you think that I hate you
                       C
stop your complaining, leave me defenseless
         D
when you love this life
      C
gotta love this life
D                            A7(4)*    Am7
love this life though you'll never know why
