Chords

INTRO: C Am F G (2x) C
        Am            F
Life is one big show

             G       C
But no one rehearses 

        Am             F
Up when one crowd, you blow

                        G Gadd9 G C
And that crowd disperses 

          Am           F
So you're on your own

                 G     C
With expenses to cover 

          Am              F
Then your cover is blown

                 G       F
When in comes no lover 
CHORUS:
          G                F
Keep your guard up and not 

         G              F
Fist out at arms length 

         G          Am     
Kindness is not weakness 

         G          F
Meanness is not strength 

    G
Not strength

    F         G         C
Weakness, not strength 

      Am              F
Accelerate the wheel

                      G      C
The years gather more quickly 

         Am                F
Dream, illusion and real

                                G Gadd9 G C
And you're more and more prickly 

               Am                 F
With kids, the numbers grow higher

                 G      C
In rotations per minute 

              Am           F
So now you'll never retire

                           G        F
But it's for them that you spin it 
CHORUS:
          G                F
Keep your guard up and not 

         G              F
Fist out at arms length 

         G          Am     
Kindness is not weakness 

         G          F
Meanness is not strength 

    G
Not strength

    F         G       
Weakness, not strength 
INTERLUDE: C Am F G C Am F G C
            Am                F
A diamond's brittle and hard

                     G       C
It can shine, it can shatter 

                 Am                 F
And though we're far from the start

                                G Gadd9 G C
You should know you still matter 

        Am           F
God was lonely above

                 G            C
So he made us to dream through

            Am              F
That's what I'm thinking of

                  G          F
When I tell you I love you
CHORUS:
          G                F

Fist out at arms length 

         G          Am     
Kindness is not weakness 

         G          F
Meanness is not strength 

    G
Not strength

    F         G        C
Weakness, not strength 
INTERLUDE: C Am F G C Am F G C
                    F
Life is one big show

         G       C
No one rehearses 

        Am                 F
Up when one crowd, you blow

                  G   
And that crowd disperses
