Youve Got To Learn To Live With What You Are

You Gotta Learn to Live with What You Are

Ben Folds

I'm not sure what this song is from, but my friend really likes this song. It's

all orchestra and everything when he does it, but if you pick the chords for the

first verse, and start strumming at the pre-chorus (And now that the gig is

up...), it doesn't sound all that bad!

My voice is lower then Ben Folds though, so I did change the key lower. I believe he plays it in E?

Of course, you could simplify all the base notes in the song to the root chord or

whatever it's called, but it sounds nicer if you can hit it all!

Verse:

I know that you’re in there

I can see you

You’re saying you’re okay

I don’t believe you

And now that the gig is up, the spell is broken

The fat lady’s sung, the president has spoken

These days that you were waiting for will come and go

Like any day, just another day

Chorus:

There’s never gonna be a moment of truth for you

While the world is watching, ohh ohh

Ohh, All you need is the thing you’ve forgotten

And that’s to learn to live with what you are.

So freak out if you want to

And I’ll still be here

Don’t call me for years, and when you do,

Yeah, I’ll still be here

And I’m not saying that the effort is a waste of time, but I

Just want you for the things you couldn’t change, but you tried

These hours of confusion they will soon expire like

Everything does.

Bridge:

Sometimes everything you`ve ever wanted floats above

It`s stickin`out its tongue and laughing while

Everything that anyone could ever need is down below

Waiting for you to know this

There`s never gonna be a moment of truth for you

While the world is watching, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

Cause all you need is the thing you`ve forgotten

And that`s to learn to live with what you are

You`ve got to learn to live with what you are

D (let ring) A

You`ve got to live with what you are
