(D) Been down the road (Em) to work and back
Been in (F#m)what I thought was love a few (G) times
But every (D)once in a while (Adim) (A#dim)I stop and ask(Bm)
(Em) Where've I been all my (A)life

(D) These days broccoli don't (Em)taste so bad
And (F#m)neither does swallowin' my (G)pride
And I'm a-(D)greein' more and more with (A#dim)my old man(Bm)
(Em) Where've I (A)been all my (D)life

(Chorus)
(G)Some years are clear and (F#m)some a little blurry
(Em) Man, how they (A) fly (D) by
(Bm) Mom and dad sure got (F#m)old in a hurry
(Em) Where have I been all my (A)life

Been (D)learning that forgiveness is as (Em)much for myself
As it (F#m)is for the other guy (G)
And I (D)read the good book these (A#dim)days and (Bm)believe it
(Em) Where have I (A)been all my (D)life

(Em) Where have I been all my (A)life

I heard "What a (D)Wonderful World" (Em) by Louis Armstrong
