VERSE 1:
C       G        F
 Well I know the road your on
C    G                  F
 And where it's leading to
C      G        F
 There ain't no comming back
C   G          F
 If ya make it through
Am               G  F
 Well it'll cost ya everything
Am    G          F
 With nothin' to show for it
Am   G                     F
 But if you want it better child
Am    G                F
 Well here's chance to go for it

CHORUS:
                  C   G F
The best thing in life
              C   G F

VERSE 2:
C    G           F
 One thing's for certain
C  G         F
 I have been taught
C    G      F
 The key to heaven
C     G        F
 Just can't be bought
Am          G           F
 'Cause the standard is perfection
Am   G         F
 And we're all short of it
Am   G       F
 But in came Jesus
Am   G       F
 And he was above it
