verse 1 
        C           Dm                    C 
What if happy was a channel we could choose 
        F                                C 
What if music never made it past the blues 
        F                        C        Am 
What if God was just a bloke who drives a bus 
        C              G                   C 
What if you and me, we spoke and turned to us 

        C                F              C 
What if love was sold in shops upon the shelves 
          F                            C 
Politicians cared much less about themselves 
        F              C                   Am 
What if Adam tried and failed to get the girl 
        C                G             C 
What if mice are here to take over the world

                              F 
There's a thing called life 

And it's killing me 
                          Am 
But there's nowhere else 
                 G 
I would rather be 
                     F 
So I'll lose myself 

In the melody 
                   Am   G 
Yeah, I'll lose myself 
                           C 
There's thing called life 

verse 2 
                      F                   C 
What if living in the past was made illegal 
                 F                           C 
If the world was square and everyone was equal 
        F            C                   Am 
What if radio played songs about our lives 
             C          G             C 
And television shone a light into our eyes 

Pre-Chorus 
          Cm        F                                          C  G 
'Cause I don't know where we went wrong but it's alright 
          F                                      C  G 
Just keep listening to the songs inside your mind 


[Refrão]
                             F 
There's a thing called life 

And it's killing me 
                           Am 
But there's nowhere else 
                 G 
I would rather be 
                     F 
So I'll lose myself 

In the melody 
                  Am    G 
Yeah, I'll lose myself 
                           C 
There's thing called life 

Bridge 

There's a thing called life 
F 
What if dreams are our reality 

And reality's a dream 
C 
What if we're part of something bigger 

There's a script for every scene 
F 
And what if worry made you happy 

What if money made you sad 
Am 
What if tea and coffee got you stoned 
G 
And all the good guys they were bad 
F 
What if guns were made illegal 

What if weapons were just words 
C 
What if the animals could talk 

What if we flew up with the birds 
F 
'Cause I've been waiting by the window 

And I've been staring out the door 
Am                                     G 
And I still don't know what on earth we're here for 


[Refrão]
                             F 
There's a thing called life 

And it's killing me 
                          C 
But there's nowhere else 
                 G 
I would rather be 
                     F 
So I'll lose myself 

In the melody 
                 Em Dm C G 
Yeah I'll lose myself
