It's a Wonderful Life

Tom: G

      Am               D
My dear, everything moves so fast
     G                  Em
It all moves so fast these days
    Am                D
But come in real close
                     G
We'll dance real slow
                     Em
Maybe time will change its pace
 Am              D
Maybe we can sing
                  G           Em
Time to sleep, just for tonight
  Am                D
We can tiptoe and slip outside
   G                    Em
Before he wakes the morning's light

Am G D Em


[Verse 2]
  Am                         D
And like carolers on Christmas Eve
          G              Em
We will call on those held dear
Am            D
And we will pass the spirits among us
 G                        Em
We will toast the coming year
       Am                 D
It will surely come before we know it
         G               Em
And the next upon its heels
  Am                 D
But within this life is splendor tangled
  G                      Em
Like Christmas lights unreeled


[Chorus]
     Am          D                 G
My dear, it's still a wonderful life
              Em
A wonderful life
  Am             D                G
My dear, it's still a wonderful life


[Verse 3]
 Am               D
My dear, let's toast the sorrows
 G                       Em
And the dreams left unfulfilled
Am                   D
For this life is a blink and a whisper
G                              Em
But look at all that we have built
 Am                               D
Look at all the things we had to share with
G                                   Em
Look at all the hope that we have dared with
 Am                                  D            G
Look at how far we've left and how far we've come


[Chorus]
 Am                 D                G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
             Em
A wonderful life
   Am               D                G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
    Am               D                G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
             Em
A wonderful life
  Am                D               G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life


[Verse 3]
   Am                         D
Look at all the friends we have to share with
 G                                   Em
Look at all the hope that we have dared with
  Am                         D                G
Look at how far we've left and how far we've come


[Chorus]
  Am                 D               G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
              Em
A wonderful life
 Am                D                 G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
