Tom: Am
Am
I've lived a life of good times
G
Money and women came my way
F
But I always lost in both
Am
'Cause all streaks turn cold someday
Am
And then here come the bad times
G
But when they come they never stay
F
Because I leave it all behind
Am
The diamonds in the night sky light my way
[Chorus]
A
That's the way it goes
G
In this life we chose
D
My heart is with this life
Dm Am
Though it cost me everything
[Instrumental]
Am G F Am
[Verse 2]
Am
Fear of loss, it keeps you
G
Stuck in some place you don't want to stay
F
But I've lost it all and come back many times
Am
I'll never be afraid
[Chorus]
A
That's the way it goes
G
In this life we chose
D
You've got to take a chance
Dm Am
If it costs you everything
G
That's the way it goes (that's the way it goes)
A
In this gambler's life
G
This is what we chose (this is what we chose)
E N.C.
So I'll roll the dice... ha!
