Chords

The song can also be played fairly easily in the original key, but the capo makes the song easier. Enjoy. (An asterisk after a chord means to just strum once.) C G Am F C G Am* [Verse 1]
            C                G            Am           F
Yeah, I may go through this life never knowing who I am

           C                 G             Am      F
Or why I'm here, or why I'm doing what I'm doing

                  C                   G
I guess I'll just go with whatever my name is

             Am                   F                C
And take for word everything I've learned from my father

        G*            C*
And my father's father
[Chorus]
                        C              G
And they were making it up, making it all up

     Am          F
What else can we do?

                      C                   G
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up

         Am              F
It's the only way to get through

                 C               E
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright

            Am            F
Because I'm here with you tonight

          C             G*  C   G
Making it up, making it all up
[Verse 2]
C                       G                     Am    F
  Some people think the world revolves around them

C           G         Am     F
  And their beautiful child

C                     E              Am
  Some people like to pile things up around them

    F                  C       G         Am*
And surround themselves with a beautiful lie
[Chorus]
                        C              G
And we're making it up, making it all up

     Am          F
What else can we do?

                      C                   G
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up

         Am              F
It's the only way to get through

                 C               E
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright

            Am            F
Because I'm here with you tonight

          C             G
Making it up, making it all up
[Instrumental] (C, G, Am, F) x2 [Bridge]
C             G            Am
  And there's more to this life

F                  C
More than what you see

         G              Am
And it's true what they say

     F             C
That life is but a dream

   E             Am
So row your boat gently

F                C
Gently down that stream

         G             Am*
And keep dreaming your dream
[Chorus]
                      C              G
And keep on making it up, making it all up

     Am          F
What else can we do?

                      C                   G
Yeah, we're making it up, we're making it all up

         Am              F
It's the only way to get through

                 C               E
'Cause life's so hard but life's alright

            Am            F
Because I'm here with you tonight

          C             G     C*
Making it up, making it all up
