Good Life

Words & Music:

Francis Dunnery

 

Gorgeous song and hard to get the chords right.  Best I can do is the two tabs below.  Pick your fave and make it sound as you will.

 

Softly now, you owe it to the world,

And everyone knows that you're my favourite girl.

But there's some things in life that are not meant to be.

I'm not meant for you and your not meant for me.

Here's to our problems and here's to our fights,

Here's to our achings and here's to you having a good life

From me...good life...

 

Softer now, you owe it to yourself,

And don't think that you will be left on the shelf.

'Cause there's someone for you and there's someone for me.

Like me, you'll meet them eventually.

Here's to your lover and here's to my wife.

Here's to your children and here's to you having a good life

From me...good life...

 

Baby, baby, baby, baby.

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

 

Louder now, you've lost all your pain.

You're married with children and happy again.

And now I'm regretting the move that I made.

Fatal mistakes are so easily made.

Enough of my problems, they only cause fights.

Forget that I rang you and promise you'll have such a

Beautifully happy and painlessly romantic good life

From me...good life...
