Lyrics
[F]I was walking [C]home the other night
Street [G]lights pushing back the [C]dark
[F]My bare feet were [C]on their own
As I [G]stepped into a [C]park
[F]A dog had done its [C]business there
My [G]toes found the [Am]remains
[F]That's the way life [G]treats you some [C]days[Fmaj7]
[Am]That's the way life [G]treats you some [C]days
[F][G][C]
Talkin' with my accountant, he said,
“YOU'RE the best client I've ever had
“YOUR investments are sky high
“I got good news and I got bad”
“The good: I've moved to an island; the bad:
“I took all your money with me
Damn,
[F]That's the way life [G]treats you some [C]days[Fmaj7]
[Am]That's the way life [G]treats you some [C]days
[G]YOUR life may be [C]golden
Then the [G]skies open up on [C]you
[G]Maybe YOU'LL find [C]shelter
[Am]With a good friend or [G]two
Re[G]member, nothing's for[C]ever
The rain will e[G]ventually find a [C]drain
(PAUSE) [Am]And then the [G]clouds will fall a[C]way[Fmaj7]
'Cause [Am]that's the way life [G]treats you some [C]days
[F][G][C]
My girlfriend stopped by last night
said she done got blues
I give her all my lovin’
My heart sang her a tune
She said that’s a good start but I'm leaving to finish
with boyfriend number two
What!
That's the way life treats you some days
That's the way life treats you some days
[F][G][C][Fmaj7]
[Am][G][C]
[F][C][G][C]
Well, this song can go on and on
But I think you know the deal
Sometimes life is to the moon
And sometimes life gets real
There are days that you step in it, but then
There are days YOU'RE wearing shoes
Oh yeah
That's the way life treats you some days
That's the way life treats you some days
That's the way life treats you some days
That's the way life treats you some days
