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

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.
