[Verse 1]
 Em        G              A          Em   
I’ve been picking myself off of the floor
 G             A           Em  
Every day, I might start a war
                         G      A  
I got all these problems on my mind
Em                        G      A 
….I’ve been trying hard to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
G                                        A 
..This world is cruel, you love and you lose
Until your heart stops
[Chorus]
 C                         D 
All my life, all my life, all my life
                 Em
Yeah, I’ve been told
 G                            C 
That’s how it, that’s how it goes, love
 D                      Em    G  
You gotta fight on your own……. 
 C  
….
  D                          Em                           
When I need them, they don’t go
                                 G               C  
They all got their reason, my demons they don’t know
                                 D               B7   
Never by my side, tryna take my life, social control
[Post-Chorus]
                   Em   G
But that’s how it goes…..
 A             Em  G
That’s how it goes…
 A             Em  G
That’s how it goes….
 A             Em     G    A
That’s how it goes (Yeah)……
[Verse 2]
 Em                            G   A
Slip and fall, getting back up…….
 Em                             G   A 
Body feeling maxed up, taxed up……..
               Em              
Came from the bottom, now we up
             G         A                 Em  G  A 
I remember bottling it up, now I’m on a high…….
                 Em                                     G                  A  
I just take the hand I’m dealt, made the best with it (Made the best with it)
                Em                         G               A 
Trouble like a routine, on myself with it (By myself with it)
             Em
I Am not the one for counting out
               G                  A  
If I hear ’em talking, drown ’em out
                  Em  
Move through the pain like a pill
                       G                A   
My spirit’s something you could never kill (Yeah)
[Chorus]
C                          D    
All my life, all my life, all my life
                 Em  
Yeah, I’ve been told (Yeah, I’ve been told)
 G                            C  
That’s how it, that’s how it goes, love
 D                      Em                  G
You gotta fight on your own (Fight on your own)
 C
….
 D                           Em
When I need them, they don’t go
                                 G                C  
They all got their reason, my demons they don’t know (They don’t know)
                                 D              B7 
Never by my side, tryna take my life, social control
[Post-Chorus]
                   Em   G
But that’s how it goes…..
 A             Em  G
That’s how it goes…
 A             Em  G
That’s how it goes….
 A             Em     G    A
That’s how it goes (Yeah)……
