[Verse 1]
 
A            D                           E
Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
       A                 D               E
I just thought it didn't rain in California
 A           D                            E
Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
            A             D                  E
'Cause I've never known a love like this before ya

[Verse 2]
 
A            D                             E
Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
       A                      D                      E
I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
       A                  D                            E
There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
       A                     D                    E
We're surviving, we're still living I was stronger

[Pre-Chorus]
 
            D                        Bm
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
           E                        A
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
             D          Bm
You've been cheating on me
               E
But I've been cheating through
 
[Chorus]
 
     A      D     E
This life
             A         D      E
And all its suffering
    A       D     E
Oh Christ,
              A        D      E
Am I good for nothing?
 
[Verse 3]
 
A            D                             E
Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate
        A                     D                           E
I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning
A               D                              E
I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
A                  D                           E
I just thought the drums would all be loud warnings
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            D                       Bm
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
           E                       A
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
            D          Bm
You've been cheating on me
              E
But I've been cheating through
 
[Chorus]
 
A         D      E
This life
            A          D      E
And all its suffering
   A       D     E
Oh Christ,
                  A        D   E
Am I good for for nothing?
 
[Final Verse]
 
A            D                              E
Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet
         A              D                     E
'Cause I don't remember living life before this
    A            D                              E
And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
  A                       D                 E
Unaware that they've been living in a forest

I've been cheating on, cheating on you
            D           Bm
You've been cheating on me
              E
But I've been cheating through
A         D     E
This life
 
            A         D       E
And all its suffering

This life

And all its suffering
