C G Am F C G Am*

[Verse 1]
            C                G            Am           F
Yeah, I may go through this life never knowing who I am
           C                 G             Am      F
Or why I'm here, or why I'm doing what I'm doing
                  C                   G
I guess I'll just go with whatever my name is
             Am                   F                C
And take for word everything I've learned from my father
        G*            C*
And my father's father


[Chorus]
                        C              G
And they were making it up, making it all up
     Am          F
What else can we do?
                      C                   G
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up
         Am              F
It's the only way to get through
                 C               E
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright
            Am            F
Because I'm here with you tonight
          C             G*  C   G
Making it up, making it all up


[Verse 2]
C                       G                     Am    F
  Some people think the world revolves around them
C           G         Am     F
  And their beautiful child
C                     E              Am
  Some people like to pile things up around them
    F                  C       G         Am*
And surround themselves with a beautiful lie


[Chorus]
                        C              G
And we're making it up, making it all up
     Am          F
What else can we do?
                      C                   G
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up
         Am              F
It's the only way to get through
                 C               E
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright
            Am            F
Because I'm here with you tonight
          C             G
Making it up, making it all up


[Instrumental]

(C, G, Am, F) x2


[Bridge]
C             G            Am
  And there's more to this life
F                  C
More than what you see
         G              Am
And it's true what they say
     F             C
That life is but a dream
   E             Am
So row your boat gently
F                C
Gently down that stream
         G             Am*
And keep dreaming your dream


[Chorus]
                      C              G
And keep on making it up, making it all up
     Am          F
What else can we do?
                      C                   G
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up
         Am              F
It's the only way to get through
                 C               E
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright
            Am            F
Because I'm here with you tonight
          C             G     C*
Making it up, making it all up
