Em7 Em7sus4  Em7      Cdim      A7/9
No   com - plaints and no re - grets, 

  Edim        D6      DM7/9       Dm6       Edim       F#m
I still be - lieve in chas - ing dreams and plac - ing bets;

   B7       Em7   Em7sus4 Em7 Em7sus4 A7/9 A9 Cdim Em7 A7
But I have learned  that  all   you   give is  all you get,

   G6     Edim        B7
So give it all you've got.


Em7 Em7sus4   Em7     Cdim     A7/9
 I    had my share, I drank my fill

   Edim      D6      DM7/9        Dm6    Edim        F#m
And e- ven though I'm sat - is - fied I'm hun - gry still

   B7         Em7  Em7sus4 Em7 Em7sus4 A7/9 A9   Cdim Em7  A7
To see what's down    an - oth -  er   road be - yond  a  hill

    G6   Edim   DM7   GM7   DM7
And do it all again


	B7        GM7     Em7       A7      F#m
So here's to life and ev' - ry joy it brings

	B7        GM7       A7     Em7        D6      B7
So here's to life, to dreamers and their dreams


Em7 Em7sus4 Em7 Cdim      A7/9
Fun - ny    how time just flies, 

   Edim      D6      DM7/9       Dm6   Edim        D6
How love can go from warm hel -  los to sad good - byes

    B7         Em7 Em7sus4 Em7 Em7sus4 A7/9  A9   Cdim  Em7    A7
And leave you with   the   mem -  o -  ries you've mem - o - rized

    G6       Edim     DM7   GM7   DM7
To keep your winters warm.


Em7 Em7sus4 Em7 Cdim  Edim        A7/9
But there's no  yes in yes - ter - day,

    Edim      D6       DM7/9       Dm6      Edim      D6
And who knows what to - mor - row brings or takes a - way

    B7    Em7sus4 Em7 Em7sus4 A7/9  A9   Cdim  Em7 A6/7/9
As long as  I'm  still  in    the game, I want to   play 

     G6        Edim       DM7
For laughs, for life, for love.


	B7        GM7     Em7       A7      Bm
So here's to life and ev' - ry joy it brings

	B7        GM7       A7     Em7        D6      B7
So here's to life, to dreamers and their dreams


    G9       Cdim      E7/9
May all your storms be weathered,

    Bm         F#7  Edim Bm
And all that's good get  better

G6        Em7    B7       Em7     A7  Edim D6
Here's to life, here's to love, here's to  you.
