lyrics

C'EST LA VIE (THAT'S LIFE)

B C D C
Are you scared, lad? Is it more than you can handle
just to be alive and breathing, would you like to change the channel?
Are you frightened, when you step outside your door?
It's a freakish horror-show out there, you never can be sure
G F Bb
Are you tired out? Are you thin and weak and weary?
G F B
Your figure's bent your eyes are bleary, wish you could just lay down and die
B C D C
Are you scared, lass? By the certainty of death
by his cold and icy hand that takes your spirit from your flesh
G A B

E D C B
Well that's life, baby, c'est la vie
We all get it sometime, in the meantime we are free
Well that's life, baby, c'est la vie
Here and then it's gone, what will be will be
(E D C B C B G A)

B C D C
Are you fed up, with the hand that you were dealt?
Wish you could be somebody else? You could choose at any time
Are you frightened, by the possibilities?
Is your spirit ill at ease, are you scared to make a move?
Can't believe it, wonder what does it all mean?
Can't believe the things I've seen, who is writing this weird dream?
Can't believe it, that life could be so cruel?
Look in the mirror – you're the fool, but the punchline is lost amidst the noise

That's life, baby, c'est la vie
enjoy it while it lasts, you don't know where the end could be
Well that's life, baby, c'est la vie
here and then it's gone, what will be will be

que sera sera, what will be will be
We all get it sometime, in the meantime we are free
