Just a song about getting back up after the bad breaks life gives you.

The Life Game By Jeff Gilpin


June 19th, 2009




Verse 1


[C]There are times in [F]our life time


When [C]we have to set some things a [G]side


[C]Things that to us were second [F]nature


[C]Get dropped off in the [G]middle of the [C]ride


[F]We’re never ready to give up


[G]Things that sure can make our heart beat [Am]fast


[F]But life goes on there’s no right or wrong


[G]Pick up the pieces give the die another cast




Verse 2


[C]I once had a dog by the name of [F]Crystal


[C]Always lit up when I came into the [G]room


[C]Still makes me smile just to [F]think of her


[C]Even though her [G]life ended too [C]soon


[F]We’re never ready to give up


[G]Friends that manage to make our heart beat [Am]fast


[F]But life goes on no right or wrong


[G]Pick up the pieces give the die another cast





Verse 3


[C]Mom and Dad were always so [F]happy


The [C]anchor for our happy [G]home


[C]One day while I was [F]off at school


[C]Something went [G]terribly [C]wrong


[F]We’re never ready to give up


[G]All the things that we think will always [Am]last


[F]But life goes on no right or wrong


[G]Pick up the pieces give the die another cast




Verse 4


[C]Life is so [F]complex


[C]Just when you think you got it all figured [G]out


[C]The rules get changed in the [F]middle of the game


[C]It’s happened more [G]times than I can [C]count


[F]We’re never ready to give up


[G]All the things that make my heart beat [Am]fast


[F]But life goes on no right or wrong


[G]Pick up the pieces give the die another [Am]cast


[F]Life goes on as [G]long as you can [Am]last
