[Intro: ]G  D  A  (2 times) 
 
G                   D 
Everybody wants an easy ride on the 
A 
merry go round that we call life 
G                 D 
Take a drive on cruise control then you 
A 
wake to find it's a winding road 
G          D 
I had my dreams in view when the 
A 
money ran out and the engine blew 
G              D 
Hung my tears out to dry then my 
A 
dreams fell out of that clear blue sky 
Dm     Bb                  C 
And I, I was walking the clouds 
Am7                  Dm 
Feeling so safe and sound 
Bb                        A 
Something else knocks me down 
 

[Refrão]
D   A                G 
Oh that's the way it is 
           D             A       D 
You gotta roll with the punches 
A                  G 
That's the way it goes 
           D             A 
You gotta bend when the wind blows 
Bb   F                   Gm7 
You live you learn, you crash and burn 
Gm 
It's hit or miss 
     C                F    A 
And that's the way it is 
 
 
G         D 
One fine day you wake up 
A 
completely hopelessly fallin in love 
G                      D 
He's just what you're looking for the only 
A 
problem is that the man's not sure 
G                         D 
Another guy'll give you everything, only 
A 
problem is you don't feel a thing 
G                   D 
Well I know from experience nothing's 
A 
ever gonna make perfect sense 
Dm  Bb                        C 
Oh, one day you get what you want 
Am7                    Dm 
But it's not what you think 
Bb                     A 
Then you get what you need 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
A                    Bb 
Yeah, they say your soul is growing 
    A                      Bb       A 
But sometimes I feel like throwing something
