F
If I was to tell you that
                                     Dm
the hell you're living in's a starter
         F
What it takes to survive with
                          Dm
a wonderful life is harder
 Gm                        F
What do you get when you place
                        C
all your bets outside you?
           A#
If you're holding your breath,
         F                       C
it's no wonder it's yet to find you

Talk about it, but you never
ever want to think about it
Keep talking, but you're never
gonna find a way to make it fit
Watch as the world does a twist
and a twirl without you
You can't make any sense when
you're building a fence around you

Chorus:
F
Take back your wonderful life
    Dm
The more the life to love much better
F
We say it all of the time
    Dm
The time is now, it's now or never
Gm              F
We all get it wrong
    C
So don't stay mad for long
           A#
Or it's a lonely little life
 F                 C
Lonely little lifetime

            A#         G
But it's a sin that I can't
      A#             G
Understand what you meant
         A#           G           F   A
And I'm sorry that I can't get through
           A#          G
But if we choose to forget
            A#         G
What we've come to regret
A#        Gm     F
Oh, if we only knew

Chorus:
Take back your wonderful life
The more the life to love much better
We say it all of the time
The time is now, it's now or never
We all get it wrong
So don't stay mad for long
Or it's a lonely little life,
lonely little lifetime
Take back your wonderful life
The more the life to love much better
We say it all of the time
The time is now, it's now or never
We all get it wrong
So don't stay mad for long
Or it's a lonely little life,
lonely little lifetime
