[Intro]
D9  A  Bm  G  D9  A  D9  A
[Verse 1]
D9                      A
Do you, do you wanna bleed?
              D9                   G
Do you wanna live, to live here in vain?
          D9                  A
Do you believe? Or are you afraid?
                D9       D9
Afraid of some change?
[Chorus 1]
D9
It's only life
                   Bm
She's so afraid to kiss
                  G
And so afraid to laugh
                        A
Is she running from her past?
          Bm
It's only life
                   A
She's so afraid of love
                 G
And so afraid of hate
    A          D9  A  D9  A
But it's only life
[Verse 2]
D9                      A
Do you, do you wanna scream?
              D9                 G
Do you wanna face, to face the strange?
         D9                   A
Do you believe? Or are you afraid?
                D9       A
Afraid of some change?
[Chorus 1]
D9
It's only life
                   Bm
She's so afraid to kiss
                  G
And so afraid to laugh
                        A
Is she running from her past?
          Bm
It's only life
                   A
She's so afraid of love
                 G
And so afraid of hate
    A          D9  A  D9  A
But it's only life
[Bridge]
        G
So insecure
             A
There is no cure
[Chorus 2]
           D9
It's only life
                   Bm
She's so afraid of it
                 G
And so afraid to ask
                        A
She's hiding behind her mask
                Bm
And it's only life
                    A
She's so afraid of pain
                   G
And so afraid of blame
   A       D9            D9
It's only life
[Outro]
D9               A
She, she's so afraid
           D9                   G
Afraid to lose, afraid of the fame
               D9                         A
And still everyday, she still feels the same
           D9
It's only life
