Life is a day that doesn't last for long
[E](Gone) Life is more than money [A](Gone) time was never money
[C#m](Gone) Time was never cash, [A]life is still more than girls
[E]Life is more than hundred dollar bills, and [A]roto-tom films
Life is more than [C#m]fame and rock and roll and thrills
[A](Gone) All the riches of the kings end up in [E]wills
We've got information in the [A]information age but do we [C#m]know what life is
Outside of [A]our convenient Lexus cages
[E]She said, he said live like no [A]tomorrow
Every moment that we [C#m]borrow, brings us closer to the [A]God who's not short of
cash
[E]Hey, Bono, I'm glad you asked, [A]life is still worth living
[C#m]Life is still worth living, [A]life is more than you are
Hey [E]life is...
