      [Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
 C
Battered and bruised 
 Am              Em
And in million pieces 
 F               C
I've only been abused 
 Am              G     F
By all of my own choices 

[pre chorus]
F 
When I'm broken and I don't why 
G
The storm butts gather in my sky 
Am   F        Em
And Oh…. the sting 
F
So I'm hoping that I'll have the time 
G                                      Am       G
To live and breathe, to search and to find… 

[chorus]
                 F
This is life on earth 
     C              Am
You live then you die 
         Em        F
I wanna know it's worth 
         Am               G
I wanna know the reasons why 
           Dm
Life on earth 
G
Gets me down 
C      C/B       Am
unless I understand 
             G
It's supposed to hurt… 
     Dm        G          F
Yeah, this is life on earth 

C  Am  G    F  C  Am  Em

[Verse 2]
  Am
I've seen promises made
                      F   C
And broken for no reason
F                      C
I've seen unashamed hate
                 Am   G    F
And emotional treason

[pre]
F
And I pray to God for a sign
G                                          Am
But it's rarely the way He works, and it's fine
G
It's fine...

[Chorus]
                 F
This is life on earth 
     C              Am
You live then you die 
         Em        F
I wanna know it's worth 
         Am               G
I wanna know the reasons why 
           Dm
Life on earth 
G
Gets me down 
C      C/B       Am
unless I understand 
             G
It's supposed to hurt… 
     Dm        G          Am
Yeah, this is life on earth 

[bridge]
G
Don't cry my dear
                    F           Am    F    C
I won't leave you here on your own

G
There's nothing wrong with fear
                          F           Am
It makes us stronger... "here" isn't home

G
This world is not our home

[Chorus]
                 F
This is life on earth 
     C              Am
You live then you die 
         Em        F
I wanna know it's worth 
         Am               G
I wanna know the reasons why 
           Dm
Life on earth 
G
Gets me down 
C      C/B       Am
unless I understand 
             G
It's supposed to hurt… 
     Dm        G          F
Yeah, this is life on earth 

[Outro]
F    C    Am    G

F    C    Am    G
  This is life... this is.. this is
F    C    Am    G
   This is life.. 
F    C    Am    G
oh this is life.. oh this is life
F    C    Am    G
