A  Bm7  C#m7 Dmaj7
G  F#m7  Bm7  E7

A                              Bm7
Come outside and see     a brand new day
      G                             Bm7/F#              E
The troubles in your mind     will blow away
     A                   Bm7
It's easy to believe     they're here to stay
     G                             F#m7                    A
But you won't find them standing in your way

E          A       Bm7 Cm#7  Dmaj7
     Se a vida é,     I love you

Come outside and feel the morning sun
E7        A       Bm7 Cm#7  Dmaj7
     Se a vida é,     I love you

Life is much more simple when you're young

Come on,     essa vida é
Dmaj7                      Cm#7
     That's the way life is
Bm7                         A     E
     That's the way life is

Although we see the world through different eyes
We share the same idea of paradise
So don't search in the stars for signs of love
Look around your life you'll find enough

Se a vida é, I love you
Come outside and feel the morning sun
Se a vida é, I love you
Life is much more simple when you're young

Come on, essa vida é
That's the way life is
That's the way life is

Fmaj7
Why do you want to sit alone
Cmaj7
     In gothic gloom
     Dm7
Surrounded by the ghosts of love
G
     That haunt your room?

F
Somewhere there's a different door
Cmaj7
     To open wide
               Dm7
You gotta throw those skeletons out of your closet
G                           E7
     And come outside

[drum break]

So you will see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way

Se a vida é, I love you
Come outside and feel the morning sun
Se a vida é, I love you
Life is much more simple when you're young

Come on, essa vida é
That's the way life is
That's the way life is

Come on, essa vida é
That's the way life is
That's the way life is

Up Against It

|: A  B    C#m  A  B    C#m :|

F#m   A          C#m
News     in this city
F#m    A            C#m
Breaks    without pity
B  G#m                C#m
       Long after the war has ended
          D          C#m
We're still in fatigues

A   B            C#m
Up     against it
      A       B                         C#m
The higher you fly the further you fall
A   B            C#m
Up     against it
A         B                          C#m
Wondering why we fought after all

Such a cold winter
With scenes as slow as Pinter
Synchronise your watches
There's still time to kill

Up against it
Drinking this swill to sweeten the pill
Up against it
The more that it hurts the less that it works

D#m7                   Emaj7            F#11           F#
     Wrapped in nostalgia to queue     for a show
D#m7             Emaj7      F#11           F#m
     Back to Trafalgar one kiss then I'll go

So deep in quicklime
The bones of an old crime
I knew a man who raked them over
He's still suffering

A   B            C#m
Up     against it
A        B                          C#m
Buried so deep it gives me the creeps

A  B    C#m  A  B    C#m

A   B            C#m
Up     against it
      A       B                                C#m
The longer you hate the more that it grates
A   B            C#m
Up against it
A           B                                     A   B
Look left then right and run for your   life

G#/B#  Bmaj7  Bm/D    D#m
Bmaj7  D          F#/C#  C#

F#                    C#    D#m
     Cross a windy bridge
Bmaj7            C#
     One winter night
F#                     C#         D#m
     Past Embankment Gar - dens
Bmaj7                      A#m7
     Enter warmth and light

G#m7              A#m7                  Bmaj7
     Face the mu - sic (it's never ea - sy)
                 C#
Forget the chill
G#7               A#m7                    Bmaj7
     Face the fu - ture (it's never ea - sy)
             C#
Find the will

                     F#      A#m                D#m
If life is worth   living     it's got to be   done
D#m/C#        G#/B#       Bmaj7         Bm/D                 D#m

Look around
Picture what's in store
Is this the final edit
Or is the subject now a bore?

Gm#7                      A#m7                           Bmaj7
     Don't shrug your shoulders (it's always ea - sy)
                  C#
You can't ignore

That life is worth living it's still worth a damn
One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham
Many words may make it sound contrived
                                    (F#m/A)
But somehow we're alive

F#m/A       G#m7b5              C#
     (The survivors) Our heads bowed
F#m/A       G#m7b5       C#
     (The survivors) At memorials
               C#
For other faces in the crowd

Teachers and artists (it's never easy)
And Saturday girls
In suits or sequins (it's never easy)
Or twin-sets and pearls

If life is worth living it's got to be run
As a means of giving not as a race to be won
Many roads will run through many lives
But somehow we'll arrive

A#m    D#m    D#m/C#  G#/B#
Bmaj7  Bm/D  D#m

B                                D                          F#/C#
     Many roads will run   through many lives

But somewhere we'll survive

Cm             Gm      Ab            Fm/Ab
     By the cathedral     into the sun
Cm                  Gm    Ab                     Fm/Ab
     Pilgrims are singing     their journey done
Fm                  Bb7
     I look at my   short life and think
Eb                       Ab
     Of all the cham - pagne that I drink
Fm                     Bb7
     With all the fa - ces that I know
Eb                             Ab                      Fm
     And how much fur - ther can one go?

Bb                 Cm    Bb
     And if I decide
Eb      Bb     Cm    Bb
     To step aside
Eb         Fm           Gm            Ab             Bb
     I will try to reply   to the fee - lings I hide

Bb7
Cm        Abmaj7    Dm7b5  G7
Cm        Abmaj7    Dm7b5  G7

I look from my window down to the square
At workers still queuing patiently there
For market forces to provide
What history's so far denied
For a different kind of fate
Than to labour long and always wait

And if I decide
To step aside
I will try to return to the person inside

Bb7
Cm        Abmaj7    Dm7b5  G7

Cm 
     Will I always need you?
Dm7b5                   Ab
     Would you want   me to?
Cm
     Can you love me for good
Dm7b5                          Ab
      The way you thought   you could?

Fm                                   Bb7
     Or will spring bring rain   and summer burn?
Eb                         Ab
     Will tears at last   precede the turn
Fm                                 Bb7
     From summer warmth   to sudden cold
Eb                   Ab                  Fm
     As certainly   as growing old?

And if I decide
To step aside
I will try to forget all the tears I'll have cried
