(Verse 1)
Ever since I was [G]young
Coming up, coming [G]up
Always marching to a [G]drum
Bra-da-dum, Bra-da-[G]dum
Always focused on [C]me
One one, one [C]one
Now I wish that I could [C]hold someone, someone
(Pre-Chorus)
So tell my mom, I [G]love her
Call my baby [G]sister
Should've hugged and [G]kissed her
'Cause life is just a [G]mystery
And it's [C]gone before you know it
So if you [C]love me, won't you show it?
(Chorus)
[G]'Cause this life is one big symphony
[G] This night is one for you and [C]me
I'm the strings and [C]you're the timpani
You're my constant [D]tambou[G]rine
[G] This life is one big symphony
[G]So glad I got you next to [C]me
I'm thе chords and you're the melo[C]dy
This lifе's one big [D]sympho[G]ny
(Verse 2)
She was the [G]piano, I'm the xylophone
You can have the [G]trumpet, I'm the saxo[C]phone
Life's a skipping [G]rope
Keep going, keep [G]going
Find a silence in the [G]note
Dote, dote, dote, [G]dote
Had to struggle when I was [C]broke
So low, so [C]low
Writing music just to [C]cope
No hope, no [C]hope
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, life is just pers[G]pective
Laughing when you've [G]wrecked it
Smiling when you [G]kept it together
You weathered the storm
At the [C]end of the play
You [C]sang all the way
[C]Doesn't matter how off-key
If you [D]did it, your way
(Chorus)
[G]'Cause this life is one big symphony
[G] This night is one for you and [C]me
I'm the strings and [C]you're the timpani
You're my constant [D]tambou[G]rine
[G] This life is one big symphony
[G]So glad I got you next to [C]me
I'm thе chords and you're the melo[C]dy
This lifе's one big [D]sympho[G]ny
(Bridge)
[G] Would you care if I played you the flute?
See, [G]it's my favorite
one because it's so delicate and [C]beautiful
I pull out the [C]trombone if it is more [D]suitable
[G] Wanna make you smile
It's been a little [G]while since
I've seen the white of your teeth
Been a [C]hard year, lucky the guitar's here
(Instrumental)
[G] [C] [D] [G] [C]
(Outro)
[C]Life is just one big [D]sympho[G]ny
