Riff 1
D          A          G
Life ain't always beautiful.
D            A             G
Sometimes it's just plain hard.
D        A         G
Life can knock you down,
                       Riff 1
It can break your heart.
D          A      G
Life ain't always beautiful.
D                A       G
You think you're on your way.
D               A        G
And it's just a dead end road,
                      Riff 1
At the end of the day.

D                 A        G
But the struggles make you stronger,
D               A        G
And the changes make you wise.
D                 A
And happiness has it's own way,
   G
Of takin' it's sweet time.

    D          A      G
No, life ain't always beautiful.
D          A    G
Tears will fall sometimes.
D          A      G
Life ain't always beautiful,
                          Riff 1
But it's a beautiful ride.

D          A      G
Life ain't always beautiful.
D            A         G
Some days, I miss your smile.
D       A      G
I get tired of walkin' all,
                  Riff 1
These lonely miles.

D              A        G
And I wish for just one minute,
D                A      G
I could see your pretty face.
D           A
Guess I can dream,
    G                       Riff 1
But life don't work that way.

D                 A       G
But the struggles make me stronger,
D                A      G
And the changes make me wise.
D                 A
And happiness has it's own way,
      G
Of takin' it's sweet time.

    D          A      G
No, life ain't always beautiful.
D          A       G
But I know I'll be fine.
     D          A      G
Hey, life ain't always beautiful,
                         Riff 1
But it's a beautiful ride.
G                     Riff 1
What a beautiful ride.
