Chorus:
Bm                F#m
Life is what you make it
Bm                     F#m
That's what the people say
Bm                                F#m  Fm Em A
And if I can't make it through tomorrow
                           F#m Em
I better make it through today

I have had my share of troubles
It's nothing new to me
When I look around me
All I see is misery

Chorus
