[Intro 1]
There's only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, your [D]own, your [A]own
[D][D][F][G]
[D][D][F][G]

[Verse 1]
My [D]father when I was younger
Took me up onto the hill
That looked [F]down on the city smog
And a[G]bove the factory spill
He said, "Now, [D]this is where I come,
when I want to be free"
Well, he [F]never was in his lifetime
But [G]these words stuck with me, hey!

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][F][G]
[D][D][F][G]

[Verse 2]
And so I [D]ran from all of this
And climbed that highest hill
And I looked [F]down onto my life
A[G]bove the factory spill
I looked [D]down onto my life
As the family disgrace
And at [F]all my friends on the starting line
Their [G]wages off to chase
Yes, and [F]all my friends and all their jobs
And [G]all the bloody waste

[Chorus 1]
There's only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, your [D]own, your [A]own
There's only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, that's your [D]own,
that's your [A]own

[Solo 1]

[Interlude 2]
[D][D][F][G]
[D][D][F][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, well, well, [D]I grew up,
learned to love and laugh
Circled 'A's on the underpass
But the [F]noise we thought would never stop
[G]Died a death as the punks grew up
We [D]choked on our dreams
We wrestled with our fears
We're [F]runnin' through the heartless
concrete streets
[G]Chasin' our ideas, run!

[Interlude 3]
[D][D][F][G]
[D][D][F][G]

[Verse 4]
And all the [D]problems of the world
Won't be solved by this guitar
And they [F]won't stop coming either
By the [G]life I've had so far
And the [D]bright lights of my home town
Won't be getting any dimmer
Though their [F]calling has receded
Like some [G]old distant singer
And they [F]don't look so appealing
To the [G]eyes of this poor sinner

[Chorus 2]
There's only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, your [D]own, your [A]own
There's only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, that's your [D]own,
that's your [A]own

[Chorus 3]
There's only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, that's your [D]own,
that's your [A]own
Oh, only [Bm]one w[D]ay of [E]life
And [A]that's your [G]own, that's your [D]own,
that's your [A]own
That's your [Bm]own
