[Verse 1]
[Am]Mr. Willoughby,
whose [E]only luxury is the [C]sugar in his tea
[E]Teaches history [Am]at High[F]
[E]Worthington [Am]School[E]
His [Am]clothing has remained un
[E]noticeably plain
[C]His common room technique suit[E]ably restrained,
[Am]thou[F]gh maybe t[E]oo c[Am]ool
[F]Work done in the summery sun,
see the cricket ball fly
In[E]tently, [Am]like a strange demented
[C]bird towards [D]the sun
Con[Am]sidering its flight,
[E]he pauses for a while
[C]Ah, but Mr. Willoughby,
we've [E]never seen [Am]you smile[F]
[E]Tell me how [Am]come
[F]Ah [E]well,
sometimes it must [Am]get lonely[C][D]
[F]Ah, [E]but it's life and lif[Am]e only
[E][C][E][Am][E][C][E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Maurice, said Renee,
Why [E]didn't you say [C]that you'd be so late
The [E]supper that I made is [Am]ruined
[F]aga[E]in[Am][E]
Is there [Am]anything you'd like
No, [E]nothing, he replied
Stand[C]ing by the stairs, not [E]looking in her eyes,
so [Am]stu p[F]idly m[E]al[Am]e
[F]All dark and lying in bed,
You've been with her again
[E]She blurts out,
then [Am]turning on her [C]side begins [D]to cry
At [Am]first he doesn't stir but then
[E]mumbling his words
He [C]reaches for her hand, she [E]shivers,
but doesn't [Am]take [F]it [E]awa[Am]y
[F]Ah, [E]for sometimes
it does [Am]get lonely[C][D]
[F]Ah, [E]but it's life and life onl[Am]y.
[E][C][E][Am][E]

[Verse 3]
[C][E]
Oh [Am]Smithy Smithers- [E]Bell; clerk from
Clerkenwell on [C]the beach at
Bournemouth think[E]s he very well m[Am]ay
[F]be next y[E]ear[Am] in France[E]
[Am]Inspired for a while,
he decides [E]to risk a smile at Mr. [C]Willoughby
Who passes, [E]polishing his glasses,
[Am]studiously[F] averting [E]his glan[Am]ce
[F]Renee, several deckchairs away,
wonders if they would be bet[E]ter
While [Am]Maurice is [C]with the kid
s out in [D]the sea
And [Am]I was feeling small,
sit[E]ting on the wall
[C]Looking at them all and won
[E]dering [Am]who w[F]il[E]l I be[Am]
[F]Ah, [E]but sometimes it
does [Am]get lonely[C][D]
[F]Ah, [E]but it's life and lif[Am]e
[E]only
[C][E][Am][E]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Ah, but [E]it's life and life [Am]only[E][C]
[E]Ah, but it's life and l[Am]ife onl[E]y[C]
Ah, [E]but it's life and [Am]life[E]
