Tom: A
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
