[Verse 1]
          D              F          G
  Look at me I'm fallin' off of a cliff now
          D                        F      G
  I can still hear my mama yelling No No No
          D                   F                  G
  But the words mean nothing. Can't catch up to me now
       D                   F            G
  The view is so beautiful all the way down
         D                        F             G
  When I was a little boy suckin' juice from a bottle
     D                          F      G
  Believing my perceptions were oh so real
       D                    F               G
  But I didn't know nothing, Still knowing nothing
D                           F               G
  Was just enough for me to know the way I feel


[Chorus]
           D
  This is life
          C          G       D
  What a f**ked up thing we do
          C   G           D
  What a nightmare come true
         C        G     Bb A
  Or a playground if we choose, and I choose

[Verse 2]
          D               F             G
  Look at me I'm swollen like a banana fish now
      D                            F         G
  I'm never gonna make it, make it out of my hole
        D                  F              G
  But I keep on laughing. Doesn't really matter
          D                       F            G
  There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
          D                     F              G
  When I was a teenager suckin' booze with the Vatos
     D                             F   G
  Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
           D                      F             G
  They said they wouldn't make it. They didn't make it
D                          F               G
  We're all naked when the day is said and done


[Chorus]
           D
  This is life
          C          G       D
  What a f**ked up thing we do
          C   G           D
  What a nightmare come true
         C        G     Bb A
  Or a playground if we choose, and I choose

A                 C        G          D
  Don't know who made this all come true
A                       C            G     Bb                A
  But now while you're here you just gotta do what you gotta do

[Verse 3]
           D                            F                 G
  Now if I wasn't such a weenie do you think you'd still love me?
     D                               F            G
  Pretending I'm an airplane on the living room floor
          D                    F          G
  Like a lovely generator you stand right by me
          D                        F            G
  And if words were wisdom I'd be talking even more
       D                       F            G
  So I keep on falling as I'm looking back above me
  D                          F              G
  Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
          D                F         G
  Now I'm, I’m like DeNiro. I'm Al Marino
D                      F              G
  And I'll never know when I hit the ground


[Chorus]
           D
  This is life
          C          G       D
  What a f**ked up thing we do
          C   G           D
  What a nightmare come true
         C        G     Bb A    Bb A    Bb A           D
  Or a playground if we choose, choose, choose, and I choose
