Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]"I [E]remember when I was a very little girl,
[Am]our house caught o[A]n fire.
I'll never [E]forget the look on my father's
face as he gathered me up in his arms
[A]And raced through the burning building
out to the pave[D]ment.
I stood there [A]shivering in my [E]pajamas
and watched the whole world [A]go up in flames.
[D]And when it was all over I sai[A]d to myself,
'Is [G]that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there [E]is?

[Verse 2]
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my [Edim]friends,
[E]The[Esus4]n let's k[E]eep da[Am]ncing.[Em]
[C]Let[Am]'s break ou[D]t the booze[Am]
And [Cm]have [G]a ball
If that's [F#]all[Cdim][F#][C]
[F#]there is.

[Verse 3]
[Am]"And when I was 12 years old, [Cm]my father took me to[G] the circus,
[Am]the greatest show [F]on earth[Am].[C][G]
[Am]There were clowns and elephants and dan[Cm]cing bears and a
[G]beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
[Am]And as I sat there watching the [Cm]marvelous spectacle,
[G]I had the[Am] feeling that something was missing.
[Adim]I don't [C]know what,
[G]but when it [Am]was over I said to my[Cm]self,
[G]'Is that all there is to a circus?'"

[Verse 4]
Is that all there [E]is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my [Edim]friends,
[Esus4]Then let'[E]s keep[Am] dancing.
[C]Let[Am]'s break ou[Dm]t the booz[D]e[Am]
[C]And [G]have [Cm]a bal[G]l[Gaug][G]
If [F#]that's [C#]all [C#aug]there[C]
is.
[B][F#m][B][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]"Then I fell in love[E] with [C]th[Cm]e most[G]
won[Am]derful boy [E]in [Cm]the world.
We would take long [G]walks [Am]by the river or j[E]ust sit
[Em]for [C]hours [G]gazing into each other's eyes.
[D]We were so very [G]much [Am]in love. Then one day,
[E]he [C]went away.[Cm]
[Am]An d I thought I[E]'d d[Cm]ie, but I didn't.
[G]And[Am] when I didn't,
[C]I said to [Cm]my s[G]elf,
[Cm]'Is that [G]all there [D]is [G]to love?'"

[Verse 6]
Is that all there [E]is?[B][E]
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my [Edim]friends,[E]
[Esus4]Then let'[E]s keep[Am] dancing.
[E]"I know what you must

[Verse 7]
[C]
be saying to [Cm]yourselves.
[Am]'If that's the way she feels[Em] about it[C]
why [Cm]doesn't she [G]just end [Am]it all?'
[E]Oh, [Em]no. [C]Not me. [Cm]I'm [G]in no hurry
for that fi[D]nal disappoint[G]ment.
For I [Am]know just as well as [C]I'm
standing here [Cm]talking to you,
[Am]When that final mo[E]ment comes
and I'm [C]breathing my [Cm]last [G]breath,
[Cm]I'll be sayi[G]ng to myself..."
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]Is that all the[B]re is?[E]
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my [Edim]friends,
[Esus4]Then let'[E]s keep[Am] dancing[Em].[C]
[Am]Let's brea[Dm]k out the booz[Am]e
And [C]have [G]a b[Cm]all[G]
If that's [F#sus4]all there [C#m]is.[F#][B]
