G                           Em
Who said the web of life is woven in a dream,
             G
'Cause your life is filled with dreams
             Em   C D
you can't believe.
       G                           Em
So the only way you live with it is acting
every scene,
          G                               Em
And you play the part so well, that you deceive
 C        D               C            D
Now and again I find you ain't got a friend
      D7
Who knows, I come and I go,

Chorus:
               Am      D
But it's your life...(Aah)
           Am      D
It's your life...(Aah)
               Am      D  D7
But it's your life...(Aaaah)

Though the world is overcrowded you
still found an empty place
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused
And your search for love has often
left you staring into space
Just another broken heart, so what's the use?
How many times have I been so hard to find?
You know I come and I go,

Chorus

G                      C
How does it feel when he's not around?
G                    C                  G  C  G C
Can he be real when he can be found nowhere?

Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be lit so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?
And so, my love, you know

Chorus:
               Am      D
that it's your life...(Aaah)
           Am    D
It's your life (ooh)
                 Am    D  D7
'Sait it's your life (Aaaah)
          Am      D
it's your life...(Aaah)
          Am    D
It's your life (ooh)
                Am    D  D7
'Sait it's your life (Aaaah)
