Verse 1 :
                      Em 
It takes a crane to build a crane 
                        Am 
It takes two floors to make a story 
                    C 
It takes an egg to make a hen 
                    C 
It takes a hen to make an egg 
                      G              Bm 
There is no end to what I'm saying 
                       Em 
It takes a thought to make a word 
                              Am 
And it takes some word to make an action 
                            C 
And It takes some work to make it work 
                        C 
It takes some good to make it hurt 
                  G                      Bm 
It takes some bad for satisfaction 
 (Plucking, finger-picking, and light strumming) 
Em                 Am            
La la la la la la la life is wonderful 
D                 G                      ( F# - optional transition into the Em chord)

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Verse 2 (Strumming) 
                      Em 
It takes a night to make it dawn 
                         Am 
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother 
                              C 
It takes some old to make you young 
                         C 
It takes some cold to know the sun 
                             G            B 
It takes the one to have the other 
(-----This is where the drums would come in------)
                          Em 
And It takes no time to fall in love 
                            Am 
But it takes you years to know what love is 
                            C 
And It takes some fears to make you trust 
                        C 
It takes those tears to make it rust 
                       G            B 
It takes the dust to have it polished 
Em                 Am 
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful 
D                 G                      ( F# - optional) 
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle 
Em                 Am 
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful 
D                         Em (keep playing this chord until next Verse) 
Ah la la la la la la life is so...

Verse 3 
                            Em 
It takes some silence to make sound 
                         Am 
And It takes a loss before you found it 
                    C 
And It takes a road to go nowhere 
                      C 
It takes a toll to make you care 
                     G           B 
It takes a hole to make a mountain 
Em                 Am
