Life Is What Happens

You don’t want to go to bed
But you don’t want to go to the graveyard
You don’t want to go sleep
Cuz you don’t want to miss anything
You don’t want to go to bed
But you don’t want to go to the graveyard
You don’t want to go sleep
Cuz you don’t want to miss anything

You can’t hold your cake and
Eat it simultaneously
You can’t eat cake continuously without
Ever having to prepare it

Life is what happens
Between the lines
Of a tedious book
That’s a pain to read

You don’t want to clean your room
But you don’t want to trip on the cables
You don’t want to clean your room
But you want a clear path to the door
You don’t want to clean your room
But you don’t want to trip on the cables
You don’t want to clean your room
But you want a clear path to the door

Life is what happens
Between the lines
Of a tedious book
That’s a pain to read

G                    Eb/Bb
   You don't want to go to bed
        G#                      Eb        F
But you don't want to go to the graveyard
You don't want to go sleep
Cuz you don't want to miss anything
You don't want to go to bed
But you don't want to go to the graveyard
You don't want to go sleep
Cuz you don't want to miss anything

You can't hold your cake and
Eat it simultaneously
You can't eat cake continuously without
Ever having to prepare it

D            Cm/Eb
Life is what happens
  F         D/F#
Between the lines
     Cm/G    F/A
Of a tedious book
         D/A     Bb   G#/C
That's a pain to read

(verse chords 2x during solo, then cont.)

You don't want to clean your room
But you don't want to trip on the cables
You don't want to clean your room
But you want a clear path to the door
You don't want to clean your room
But you don't want to trip on the cables
You don't want to clean your room
But you want a clear path to the door

(chorus chords)
Life is what happens
Between the lines
Of a tedious book
That's a pain to read
