      Bm
On a bridge across the Severn
On a Saturday night
F#m
Susie meets the man of her dreams.
    Bm
He says that he got in trouble
And if she doesn’t mind,
F#m
He doesn’t want the company.

But there’s something in the air,
They share a look in silence
And everything is understood.
Susie grabs her man
And puts a grip on his hand
As the rain puts a tear in his eye.

Chorus:
     She says:
     Bm            G
     Don’t let go,
     Em
     Never give up,
                 F#m
     It’s such a wonderful life.
     Bm           G
     Don’t let go,
     Em
     Never give up,
                 F#m
     It’s such a wonderful life.


Driving through the city
To the Temple station,
Cries into the leather seat.
And Susie knows the baby
Was a family man,
But the world has got him down on his knees.

            A
   So she throws him at the wall
   And kisses burn like fire
        Bm
   And suddenly he starts to believe.
       G
   He takes her in his arms
   And he doesn’t know why,
          F#m
   But he thinks that he begins to see…

Chorus:
     She says:
     Don’t let go,
     Never give up,
     It’s such a wonderful life.
     Don’t let go,
     Never give up,
     It’s such a wonderful life.

     Don’t let go,
     Never give up,
     It’s such a wonderful life.
     Don’t let go,
     Never give up,
     It’s such a wonderful life.

     She says:
     Bm
     Don’t let go,
     F#m
     Never give up.
     Bm
     Don’t let go,
     F#m
     Never give up,
     It’s such a wonderful life.

     Bm               G
     Wonderful life, wonderful life,
     Em                    F#msus4   F#m
     Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life.

     Bm               G
     Wonderful life, wonderful life,
     Em                    F#msus4   F#m
     Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life.

     Bm            G Em F#msus4 F#m
     Don’t let go,
     Bm            G Em F#7
     Don’t let go.
