E A
You're unchanging,...... I'm unchangeable
E7sus4
E
A
That's a difference,...... we have to recognise
E7sus4 E A (arpeggio TAB)
Some folks never row,....... their ways seem like paradise
E7sus4 E A
Inside we all know,....... this is the life
You're the greatest thing I've ever seen
You make my eyes bleed others turn to green
Make the road open and the future all gold
Make my world spin when I open the door

Cadd9 A
Oh if anything goes you can wave it away
(verse riff starts here)
This thing won't come back again
And take me around
Let me see what was I thinking about
Now is the time for you to see me
we can walk away darling or we can say
This is the life the best thing yet
Better not change it
This is the life
This is the life anything goes
Oh if everything goes we can wave it away
A

Oooh Oooh Oooh, Oooh Oooh Oooh, Oooh Oooh Oooh, Oooh Oooh Oooh,

This is the life anything goes
Oh if anything goes you can wave it away

Take it on.................
