Song: 
VERSE 1 (Plucking, finger-picking, and light strumming) 

			    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 goes full circle 
Em		     Am 
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful 
D 
Al la la la la 


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... 


BRIDGE 
Just keep playing variations of that Em chord (that you just ended on - from Chorus 2) 

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 
Ah 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		     G	    		    (F# - optional) 
Ah la la la la la la love is meaningful 
Em		     Am 
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful 
D		  D 
Ah la la la la la la... 
      Em		         
It is so wonderful 
Em (like the Bridge - just keep playing this chord until the end) 
It is so meaningful 
Em 
It is so wonderful 
Em 
It is meaningful 
Em 
It is wonderful 
Em 
And meaningful 
Em 
It goes full circle 
Em 
Wonderful 
Em 
Meaningful 
Em 
Full Circle 
Em 
Wonderful
