Lyrics
Ab+) A A+ So you’re sitting sad, feeling all alone D D o(A) She’s taken everything, down to the carpets from your home A A+ And you rail at fate for twisting that knife D D o(F#) D o(A’) But what’s the use of despair, get up get on with your life A F# C7B7 A Get used to it Get used to it With all your trouble you had to take some time off work and Your boss thinks you’re lazy, thinks that you’ve been shirking And he’s given you your P45 Just keep telling yourself ‘Hey! I’m still alive.’ Get used to it Get used to it Get used to it no one said that life was fair D F Get used to it no guarantees, no even shares Get used to it it isn’t written in the rules Get used to it life can be sweet, life can be cruel A F# B C G A (Ab+) Get used to it..that’s life Instrumental verse You gotta pick yourself up, start out once again God helps those who help themselves, next time don’t miss that train And when you reach that place where all your troubles fall Don’t go feeling guilty Mr Sunshine’s come to call A F# B C G A (Ab+) Get used to it..that’s life Get used to it no one said that life was fair Get used to it no guarantees, no even shares Get used to it it isn’t written in the rules Get used to it life can be sweet, life can be cruel A F# B C G A F# Get used to it..that’s life D D o(A) Get used to it. Get used to it A F# B C G A F# Get used to it..that’s life D D o(A) A F# Get used to it. Get used to it.. You know you’d better get used to it D F G A Get used to it ..that’s life
