"The Good Life"
(J. Reardon - S. Distel)
Intro:
Bb Bb+ Cm7/F F7-9
Verse 1:
Oh, the good life 
Full of fun seems to be the ideal  
Gm Gm+5
Mmm, the good life
Gm6 Gm+5 D6/9 A7-5 A7
Lets you hide all the sadness you feel
You won't really fall in love
For you can't take the chance
Am7 D7 Gm Gm/maj7 Gm7 Gm6
So please be honest with yourself
Don't try to fake romance  
Verse 2:
It's the good life
To be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alone
Please remember I still want you
And in case you wonder why
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life
Good... bye
String tag:
(Bb) Bb+ Cm7/F F7-9 Bb6
