[Verse 1]
Am
I've got respect from the community,
F                          C            G
I've got my bridge game to look forward to,
Am
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity,
F                          C            G
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to.
Am                                          F
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me,
                     C                G
To provide them with nothing but the best,
Am
I feel it's my duty, my obligation,
F                           C            G
To live up to the standards society suggests.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
F                        C         G
 I'll keep on working for their benefit,
F                         G Am
And I'll keep on drinking,
F                             G                       Am
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Another day of slaving and smiling,
F                   C          G
buying and trading, Living the life of a
Am
wealthy man, But somehow I don't
F              C     G
feel so rich inside.
Am
But that doesn't make sense, I just had
F                          C            G
this little vacation, As soon as I get this
Am
operation, Taken care of,
F                          C            G
I'll start enjoying, The good things in life.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
F                        C         G
I'll keep on working for their benefit,
F                         G Am
And I'll keep on drinking,
F                             G                       A
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.
 
 
[Bridge]
A                       G
When the pity spins your mind,
                     D
Darkness fills your heart,
                A
And I won't be around,
                          G
When you feel you're all alone,
                      D
Then you'll know it's time,
                A
To go into the ground,
                         G
When the pity spins your mind,
                     D
Darkness fills your heart,
                A     G A G A E D
And I won't be around.
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
I've got my family, friends, and associates,
F                      C          G
To stand by me as the threshold comes near,
Am
Within their faces I see grave concern,
F                         C              G
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere.
Am                                F
After all these years of being complacent,
C         G
What do I get?
Am
Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?
       F                        C          G
Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret.
F                         C              G
I'll keep on believing my life still has value,
F                         G Am
And I'll keep on laughing,
F
Why can't I stop laughing?
G
I can't stop the laughing.
