F                                         Bb
A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water, goes "ssth"
Gm                     Bb                     F
But the trick but the trick is you shouldn't laugh
F                                          Bb
Cause if you start laughing you're just a coward
Gm            Bb                     F        F7
If you start laughing you're just a coward

[Chorus]
Bb         C7                   F       F7
Everybody wants to live, just once
Bb          C7                  F      F7
Everybody's got to see it that way
        Gm7   F/A  Bb
And see what your life
Gm7   F/A   Bb
What your life
Gm7   F/A   Bb  C7  F
What your life can be

[Verse 2]
F                         Bb
There's been songs about celebration
Gm             Bb              F
But if you ask me, I can't see why
F                                          Bb
There's too much pain, too much pain in my heart now
Gm               Bb                  F   F7
Ooh you're gonna have to prove it to me

[Chorus]
Bb         C7                   F       F7
Everybody wants to live, just once
Bb          C7                  F      F7
Everybody's got to see it that way
        Gm7   F/A  Bb
And see what your life
Gm7   F/A   Bb
What your life
Gm7   F/A   Bb  C7  F
What your life can be

[Verse 3]
F                           Bb
Now some people talk about ecology
Gm                 Bb                          F
Why don't somebody do something about it right now?
F                                     Bb
We're all choking on the air that we breathe now
Gm           Bb                    F    F7
How could we all just let it slide by?

[Chorus]
Bb         C7                   F       F7
Everybody wants to live, just once
Bb          C7                  F      F7
Everybody's got to see it that way
        Gm7   F/A  Bb
And see what your life
Gm7   F/A   Bb
What your life
Gm7   F/A   Bb  C7  F
What your life can be
