Hey guys. Love this song, didn't see a version of it that I liked playing, so figured I'd throw my own together. It doesn't follow the key of the song exactly, so it's more an acoustic cover than anything else.Play through the chords a few times and trying singing to it, and you'll quickly pick up the key that needs to be sung. Enjoy! [Verse 1] G My life is like a video game, Em Trying hard to beat the stage. C D G All while I am still collecting coins. G Trying hard to save the girl, Em Obstacles, I'm jumping hurdles. C D G I'm growing up to be a big boy. [Verse 2] G I battle with the evil ways, Em I travel far, and try and save, C D G Sorry but your princess isn't here. G I take a rest, I push the pause, Em Level up, and move along C D G In hopes that the next stage I will clear. (I fucking passed asshole!) [Pre-Chorus] C D I'm just trying to keep from dying [Chorus] G Em It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sake C D Looking for a better way to play it! G Em Life is for keeping score and forever more, C D G Stop complaining and start changing it. G Em C D [Verse 3] G Today I went to therapy, Em Told him my embarrassing C D G Issues that I'm having with my life. G He told me that I need to change, Em Life is not a video game. C D G So stop playing and open up your eyes [Pre-Chorus] C D I'm just trying to keep from dying [Chorus] G Em It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sake C D Looking for a better way to play it! G Em Life is for keeping score and forever more, C D Stop complaining and start changing it. [Bridge] C Don't talk about it, D Just be about it, G Em Don't ever doubt it even when your brain is clouding. C I may be crazy, D But life's amazing G Em And through it all even with your problems facing. C D G (single strum into closing verse) So just know its okay. [Verse 4] G (continued strum from bridge) My life is like a video game, Em Trying hard to beat the stage. C D G All while I am still collecting coins. (No strum) Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start. [Outro Chorus] G Em It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sakes C D Looking for a better way to play it! G Em Life is for keeping score and forever more, C D G Stop complaining and start changing it. G Em It's just a game that we play And for heaven's sakes C D Looking for a better way to play it! G Em Life is for keeping score and forever more, C D Stop complaining and start changing...
