[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]This night is one for you and [C]me
I'm the strings and you're the timpa[C]ni
You're my constant tam[D]bou[G]rine
[G]This life is one big symphony
[G]So glad I got you next to [C]me
I'm the chords and you're the melo[C]dy
This life's one big sympho[D]ny [G]
[Verse 2]
[G]She was the piano, I'm the xylophone
[G]You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxo[C]phone
[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
[G]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]This night is one for you and [C]me
I'm the strings and you're the timpa[C]ni
You're my constant tam[D]bou[G]rine
[G]This life is one big symphony
[G]So glad I got you next to [C]me

[Bridge]
[G]Would you care if I played you the flute?
[G]See, it's my favorite one because it's so delicate and beauti[C]ful
[C]I pull out the trombone if it is more suita[D]ble
[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
