Verse 2:

        It's the good life
        To be free and explore the unknown
        Like the heartaches
        When you learn you must face them alone
        Please remember I still want you
               Bbmaj7          G7-9
        And in case you wonder why
                   Cm7
        Well, just wake up
                 Cm7/F
        Kiss the good life
        F7-9    Bb
        Good... bye
