about

Ever have one of those days? This is my optimistic view of life.

lyrics

| G C/G G C/G |

G
It was a straight up whatever
A sonofabitch
D
I heard some unbidden cursing
come up off my lips
Am
sometimes in life
things don’t go your way
C
It was one of those times
D
that make you wanna say…

Chorus
G C/G G
Life sucks and then you die
Am C
And sometimes there ain’t no reason why
G C/G G
Life sucks and then you die
Am C
You dust yourself off and ya keep on tryin’
G C/G G
When life sucks, and then you die

| G C/G G C/G |

Well we all know just how your
Day is spent
Its either bitching ‘bout your job
Or your government
you oughta be looking on
The brighter side
And keep in mind just what
you can’t deny…

Chorus
Life sucks and then you die
And sometimes there ain’t no reason why
Life sucks and then you die
You dust yourself off and ya keep on tryin’
When Life sucks, and then you die

Bridge
D
Why can’t we ever catch a break?
C
Just how much more can one life take?
D
But don’t be thinking that I am pissed
C D
The chorus says that I’m optimist

Chorus

Sometimes you know
When life ain’t a ball
I’ll go and grab
a little alcohol
In one more minute
I’ll be feeling fine
And you can sing with me
one more time

Chorus x2

| G C/G G C/G |
Outro
Life sucks and then you die x3
