noah and the whale - life is life

(These chords go through the entire song)
Bb Bb/A , F , C , Dm

Well he used to be somebody
And now he's someone else
Took apart his old life
Left it on the shelf
Sick of being someone
He did not admire
Took up all his old things
Set em all on fire

He's gonna change
Gonna change his ways
Gonna change
Gonna change his ways

And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven

Left his house at midnight
Resolute and young
In search of something greater
Than the person he'd become
Threw his bags on to the back
Of his run down eighties car


Headed out to god knows where
The distance is too far

He's gonna change
Gonna change his ways
Gonna change
Gonna change his ways

And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven

(Your life is your life gotta live like it's your life)

And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven
And it feels like his new life can start
And it feels like heaven

noah and the whale - life goes on

E A
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,
B A
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,
E A
She's got deep brown eyes,
B A
That've seen it all.

E A
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
B A
The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
E A
She went down,
B A
on almost anyone.


F#m Abm
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,
A B
From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey

She said;


[CHORUS]

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
B A
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
E A B A
You've got heart, and you go in your own way.
E A
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
B A
What you don't have now will come back again
E A B A
You've got heart, and you go in your own way.


E A
Some people wear their history like a map on their face,
B A
And Joey was an artist just living out of case,
E A B A
But his best work, was his letters home.

E A
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,
B A
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,
E A B A
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.


F#m Abm
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,
A B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights

He'd say;


[Chorus]


C#m A E B
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
C#m A E B
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
C#m A E B
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
C#m A E B
To have no regrets and be done with my life


[Repeat Chorus]
