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

Life is just one big symphony

This life is one big symphony

This night is one for you and me

You're my constant tambourine

This life is one big symphony

This lifе's one big symphony
Ever since I was young (Coming up, coming up)
Always marching to a drum (Bra da dum, bra da dum)
Always focused on me (One one, one one)
Now I wish that I could hold someone (Someone)
So tell my mom I love her, call my baby sister
Should've hugged and kissed her
'Cause life is just a mystery
And it's gone before you know it
So if you love me, won't you show it?
'Cause this life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony
She was the piano, I'm the xylophone
You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxophone
Life is skipping rope (Keep going, keep going)
Finding solace in a note (Dote dote, dote dote)
Had to struggle when I was broke (So low, so low)
Writing music just to cope (No hope, no hope)
Yeah, life is just perspective
Laughing when you've wrecked it
Smiling when you kept it together
You weathered the storm
At the end of the play, you sang all the way
Doesn't matter how off-key
If you did it your way
This life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony
Would you care if I played you the flute?
See, it's my favorite one because it's so delicate and beautiful

Wanna make you smile

This life is one big symphony

You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony
