Intro G C G Ever since I was young G Coming up, coming up G Always marching to a drum G Bra-da-dum, Bra-da-dum C Always focused on me C One one, one one C Now I wish that I could hold someone, someone G So tell my mom, I love her G Call my baby sister G Should've hugged and kissed her G Cause life is just a mystery C And it's gone before you know it C So if you love me, won't you show it? G Cause this life is one big symphony G C This night is one for you and me C I'm the strings and you're the timpani D G You're my constant tambourine G This life is one big symphony G C So glad I got you next to me C I'm the chords and you're the melody D G This life's one big symphony G She was the piano, I'm the xylophone G C You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxophone G Life's a skipping rope G Keep going, keep going G Find a silence in the note G Dote, dote, dote, dote C Had to struggle when I was broke C So low, so low C Writing music just to cope C No hope, no hope G Yeah, life is just perspective G Laughing when you've wrecked it G Smiling when you kept it together You weathered the storm C At the end of the play C You sang all the way C Doesn't matter how off-key D If you did it, your way G Cause this life is one big symphony G C This night is one for you and me C I'm the strings and you're the timpani D G You're my constant tambourine G This life is one big symphony G C So glad I got you next to me C I'm the chords and you're the melody D G This life's one big symphony G Would you care if I played you the flute? G C See, it's my favorite one because it's so delicate and beautiful C D I pull out the trombone if it is more suitable G Wanna make you smile G It's been a little while since I've seen the white of your teeth C Been a hard year, lucky the guitar's here Solo G C D G C C D G Life is just one big symphony G This life is one big symphony G C This night is one for you and me C I'm the strings and you're the timpani D G You're my constant tambourine G This life is one big symphony G C So glad I got you next to me C I'm the chords and you're the melody D This life's one big symphony
