It’s a Good Life if You Don’t Weaken
The Tragically Hip
Nice and simple here, just the chords. I am tuned down a half step.
Comments?
Intro
When the colour of the night
And all the smoke for one life
Gives way to shaky movements,
Improvisational skills,
A forest of whispering speakers
Let’s swear that we will
Get with the times
In a current health to stay
Let’s get friendship right
Get life day-to-day
In the forget-yer-skates dream
Full of countervailing woes
In diverse-as-ever scenes
(bar)
Proceeding on a need-to-know
(bar) (bar)
In a face so full of meaning
(bar) (bar)
As to almost make it glow
(bar) (bar)
O’ for a good life, we just might have to weaken
And find somewhere to go
Go somewhere we’re needed
Find somewhere to grow
Grow somewhere we’re needed

(Repeat chorus twice)
Cause in the forget-yer-skates dream
You can hang your head in woe
In diverse-as-ever scenes
You know which way to go
