[Intro] Em  Am  B  Em

Em
 A song is written on the pages(pages)
B
 But the music's how you play it (play it)
Em
 If I close my eyes and listen(listen)
B
 I can hear my own rhythm

Am        Am
Be this, be this
Em                 B
I won't let it fade
I'll sing it my way

Em
I'm not changing
G
How I'm playing
Am
I'm creating
C
In the key of life

Em
I'm living
G
What I've been giving
Am
Lose or winnin'
C                  Em
In the key of life

      G       Am
I'm not afraid
       C                    Em
'Cause everything sounds better
G             Am
When it's played
C                 Em  B

Em
 A melody will just be noises
B
 If we're not using our own voices
Em
 It doesn't need to be perfection
B
 For my symphony to happen

There's no time to waste
I got noise to make
