Lyrics

Intro: E, D, A
Verse I
Some days it seems like we're sitting on top of the world
And other times we cannot sift through grains of sand to find a pearl
B
But then your love would find me and lift me up to where I see
I know life's not perfect but we're still living in the dream

Verse II
It feels like all we need's a jug of wine and a loaf of bread
We'll be make'n hay while the sun shines even if there's storm clouds straight ahead
There's just no way to know if tomorrow's gonna be a better scene
But we're in this together. We're just living the dream

Chorus
Life's not perfect. But we're still living the dream x2
E B
Between punching the clock and the school of hard knocks
D A B
It's never really what it seems
Cause life's not perfect. But we're still living the dream

Instrumental Break (Chorus)

Verse III
So we see the forest for the trees and an ocean in a drop
Sometimes it's "sink or swim". Maybe we'll make it to the top
We might be drifting on the water, or standing here on solid ground
It's what you do with what you've got on this crazy old merry-go-round

Chorus

Outro: "life's not perfect but we're still living the dream" (x3 w/echo ("Life's not perfect"), Hard stop: "Life's not perfect"
