Remember when we were young, playing superheroes in our underpants
         F              G
Then the oldest told us batman wasn't real
       C
So we grew up rather young
       Am
And we bled real blood just to act real tough
    F
We realised pretty soon real life is really real
 
       C
So we cry and crawl and we learn to walk
Am
Pretty soon we all fall down
     F
We laugh and we dance we all make love
        G                             C
And we break our hearts, we all fall down
 
C         F        G
They say, "That's life!"
C         F        G
They say, "That's life!"
C         F        G
We're born into this world with no book of rules
Am

Remember when we were young
        Am
Playing cops and robbers just for fun
         F                               G
Then our neighbourhood filled up, filled up with real guns
 
        C
Then we learned real quick, that life is sick
        Am
When we couldn’t fix a problem with a crusifix
       F                           G
It was times like these, we wished Batman was real
 
      C
So we cry the crawl
                 Am
Learned to walk, pretty soon we all fall down
       F
And we laugh and we dance
                        G
We all make love and we break our hearts
            C
We all fall down
