Chords

[Intro] C Dm C E F Am G [Verse 1]
C
Ron from Houston, Texas

                  F        C
Spent three years fightin' ALS
If you knew all that he's been through
      G
You'd hardly say he's blessed

    C                 C/E
But smilin' through a phone call

                          C
He said "Let me tell you, friend

                     G
This life ain't always wonderful

          F                   C
But what a wonderful life it's been"
[Chorus]
      F
It'll send you flyin' high
It'll bring you to your knees
         C
It's the heartbreak and the happiness

    G
And everything between

         F
It's the laugh until it hurts
It's the hurt until you cry
           C
Can't have one without the other

             G
It's how you know that you're alive

        C          Dm
In this broken and beautiful

C/E          F
Gone mad and magical

Am       G         C
Awfully, wonderful life
[Verse 2]
       C
It's a mountain and a valley

       F            C
It's a cradle and a gravе
It's a blessing and a battle
            G
And it's on any given day

     C           C/E
It's mеssy and imperfect

       F                C
It's a thief and it's a gift

                             G
Yeah, this life ain't always wonderful

           F                 C
But what a wonderful life it is
[Chorus]
      F
It'll send you flyin' high
It'll bring you to your knees
         C
It's the heartbreak and the happiness

    G
And everything between

         F
It's the laugh until it hurts
It's the hurt until you cry
           C
Can't have one without the other

             G
It's how you know that you're alive

        C          Dm
In this broken and beautiful

C/E          F
Gone mad and magical

Am       G         C
Awfully, wonderful life
[Post-Chorus]
               C   G
This wonderful life

                 F    C G
It's a wonderful life
[Bridge]
C
Ron went home to Jesus

        F              C
Got the call the other day
I sat and cried and thought about
    G
The words I heard him say

   C               C/E
"I know there is a Heaven

        F            C
Waitin' for us after this

                       G
This life ain't always wonderful

         F                    C
But this life ain't all there is

         Am                G
No, this life ain't always wonderful

         F                    C
But this life ain't all there is"
[Chorus]
           F
So, let it send you flyin' high
Let it bring me to my knees
          C
Bring the heartbreak and the happiness

    G
And everything between

       F
Let me laugh until it hurts
Let me hurt until I cry
            C
And when it comes my time to go

     G
I'll smile and wave goodbye

        C          Dm
To this broken and beautiful

C/E          F
Gone mad and magical

Am       G         F
Awfully, wonderful life
[Outro]
       C          Dm
It's a broken and beautiful

C/E          F
Gone mad and magical

Am      G         C
Awfully wonderful life
