[Verse 1]
Am Am
I've got respect from the community,
F F C C G G
I've got my bridge game to look forward to,
Am Am
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity,
F F C C G G
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to.
Am Am F F
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me,
C C G G
To provide them with nothing but the best,
Am Am
I feel it's my duty, my obligation,
F F C C G G
To live up to the standards society suggests.


[Chorus 1]
F F C C G G
I'll keep on working for their benefit,
F F G G Am Am
And I'll keep on drinking,
F F G G Am Am
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.


[Verse 2]
Am Am
Another day of slaving and smiling,
F F C C G G
buying and trading, Living the life of a
Am Am
wealthy man, But somehow I don't
F F C C G G
feel so rich inside.
Am Am
But that doesn't make sense, I just had
F F C C G G
this little vacation, As soon as I get this
Am Am
operation, Taken care of,
F F C C G G
I'll start enjoying, The good things in life.


[Chorus 2]
F F C C G G
I'll keep on working for their benefit,
F F G G Am Am
And I'll keep on drinking,
F F G G A A
I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing in my life.


[Bridge]
A A G G
When the pity spins your mind,
D D
Darkness fills your heart,
A A
And I won't be around,
G G
When you feel you're all alone,
D D
Then you'll know it's time,
A A
To go into the ground,
G G
When the pity spins your mind,
D D
Darkness fills your heart,
A A G G A A G G A A E E D D
And I won't be around.


[Verse 3]
Am Am
I've got my family, friends, and associates,
F F C C G G
To stand by me as the threshold comes near,
Am Am
Within their faces I see grave concern,
F F C C G G
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere.
Am Am F F
After all these years of being complacent,
C C G G
What do I get?
Am Am
Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?
F F C C G G
Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret.
F F C C G G
I'll keep on believing my life still has value,
F F G G Am Am
And I'll keep on laughing,
F F
Why can't I stop laughing?
G G
I can't stop the laughing.
