03 I’m doing fine

The chord sequence for this one's been knocking about for a bit, with snatches of lyric. It just needed the lead guitar part to bring it together.

Intro (D D2 D Em A6 A A6 A A6 A D) 2
Verse (Em A6 A Bm Gmaj7 Em A D) 2
D Dup Am4 Am G D
D Dup Am4 Am Cm A6 A A6 A A6 A


I’m doing fine now… trying to make the play
Anyway that it goes… the highs and the lows
So if I cross the line now .. trying to get away
With whatever I can.. I hope you’ll understand

Yes I’m doing fine.. considering all things
Yes I’m doing fine.. killing time… to see what tomorrow may bring..

verse
G A D G D
G F#m Bm Em A
G A D G D
G F#m Bm Em G A

When you’re all alone it takes you right up to the edge
But I know you won’t condone it, you says it’s the thin end of the wedge
But when life’s rough you must , take a chance or two
It may be bluff and bluster but there’s nothing else, really nothing else I can do…

Life can be hard to swallow, sometimes make you see red
You can lie in your grief and wallow or take it on the chin and fix that silly grin instead
