The secret of life is enjoying the  

C 

passage of time

G 

Any 

 

 

C 

fool can do it

There ain’t nothing to it

 

Nobody knows how we got  

G 

to

C 

The top of the hill

 

But since  

G 

we’re on our  

Am 

way 

 

down

Em 

We might  

A 

as well enjoy the  

Aaug 

ride

 

The  

G 

secret of love  

F 

is in opening  

Gaug 

up your heart

G 

It’s okay to feel  

C 

afraid

 

But don’t  

G 

let that  

C 

stand in your way

 

’cause anyone knows that love is the only  

G 

road

 

And  

A 

since we’re only here  

Aaug 

for a while

G 

Might as well show  

Dm 

some 

 

style

Gaug 

Give us  

C 

a 

 

smile

 

Isn’t it a  

Am 

lovely 

 

ride

C 

Sliding 

 

down

 

Gliding  

Gaug 

down

 

Try not to  

Dm 

try too hard

 

It’s  

C 

just a lovely ride

G 

 

Now  

C 

the thing about time is that  

G 

time

Isn’t really real

 

It’s just your  

Dm7 

point of  

C 

view

Am 

How does  

Gm 

it feel for you

Em 

Einstein said he  

A 

could never  

D 

understand 

 

 

Aaug 

it 

 

all

 

Planets spinning  

G 

through 

 

space

 

The smile upon your  

Gaug 

face

C 

Welcome to the human race

Some kind of lovely ride

 

I’ll be sliding  

Aaug 

down

Dm 

I’ll be gliding down

F 

Try 

 

 

C 

not to try  

Gm7 

too 

 

 

C 

hard

It’s just a lovely ride

 

Gaug 

Isn’t it a lovely ride

Dm 

Sliding 

 

down

G 

Gliding 

 

 

C 

down

 

Try not to try  

G 

too 

 

hard

 

It’s just  

C 

a lovely ride

 

G 

Now the secret of life  

C 

is 

 

 

Am 

enjoying 

 

 

C 

the passage of time
