Am                                            G Am
What is there left for me to do in this life?
 Am                                       G F
Did I achieve what I had set in my sights.
                 Dm
Am I a happy man,  or is this sinking sand,
G                  G/D            G
Was it all worth it,  was it all worth it.
Am
Yeah, now hear my story, let me tell you about it,

F                   Dm
We bought a drum kit.  blew my own trumpet.
            G     G/D
Played the circuit,  thought we were perfect,

Chorus:
            C         A#            F
Was it all worth it. giving all my heart and soul and
  G             C
Staying up all night, was it all worth it,
 A#               F              Gsus4       Am
Living breathing rock n'roll, a godforsaken life,
 G          Am        G          Am    A#
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it all these years.

Am                                           G Am
Put down our money without counting the cost,
Am                                     G Am
It didn't matter if we won - if we lost,
F                  Dm
Yes we were vicious. yes we could kill,
G                 G/D             G
Yes we were hungry. yes we were brill,

F                   D
We served a purpose, like a bloody circus,
            G    G/D          G
We were so dandy we love you madly,

Chorus

F               Dm
We went to Bali, saw God and Dali.
    G    G/D      G
So mystic, surrealistic,

Chorus:
Was it all worth it. giving all my heart and soul and
Staying up all night, was it all worth it,
Living breathing rock n'roll, a godforsaken life,
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it all these years.
Yes, it was a worthwhile experience,
