Key: A Intro: E Verse 1: A Things can get so bad I know D But things could always be worse E A There's a blessing tucked inside of each and every curse A
You could be a selfish fool D And somehow not be selfish enough E Your glass could be half full A N.C. But you have already drank way too much Chorus: D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas D E A This is life, this is life Verse 2: A Oh, how humor D You burst the bubble of all our hidden pain E Oh, how humor A You clever mother, you're keeping everybody sane A Oh, how laughter D You make us bastards feel some kind of joy E Like a golden token A We find we're not broken, like some cheap little toy Chorus: D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas Interlude: A D E A Verse 3: A Time is so fleeting D I hope that you're reading everything in between the lines E Life can have meaning A If you keep dreaming all the way through the days and the nights D I saw you cry a little, in the middle of a story you once told E A You're a thing of beauty, and we're all rooting for you not to fold Out-Chorus: D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas D E A This is life, this is life Merry Christmas
