Oh, the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal 
         Em       B5+            Em7    
Yes, the good life   let's you hide  
         Em6        C#m5-/7  F#7  C#m5-/7 F#7 
All the sadness you feel 
           Am7           F7                  G                 B7 
You won't really fall in love, for you can't take the chance 
       Em    B5+        Em7 Em6              Am7      D7/9    Am7 D7 
So be honest with yourself,    don't try to fake romance 
 G                 G5+        G6     G7M           F#m7   B7   F#m7 B7 
It's the good life   to be free and explore the unknown 
      Em            B5+ 
Like the heartaches  
          Em7            Em6      C#m5-/7    F#7 C#m5-/7 F#7 
when you learn you must face them alone 
        Am7              F7                G       Gdim     E7 
Please remember, I still love you, and in case you didn't know 
           Am7               Dsus4        D7/9-    G 
Well, just wake up, kiss the good life hello
