Is That All There Is? chords by PJ Harvey
Verse 1
G
I remember when I was a girl
C
Our house caught on fire
And I'll never forget the look
G
on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
C
And raced to the burning building
F
out on the pavement
C
And I stood there shivering
G
And watched the whole world
C
go up in flames
F
And when it was all over
C
I said to myself
Bb
"Is that all there is to a fire?"
Ab
G
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Cm
then let's keep dancing
Bb
Let's break out the booze
Eb
Ebm
Bb
and have a ball
D
G
Cm
If that's all there is
Ab
And when I was twelve years old
B
Ebdim
My daddy took me to
Cm
the circus
Ab
The greatest show on earth
B
Ebdim
And there were clowns
Cm
And elephants
Ebdim
Ebm
Dancing bears,
Bb
And a beautiful lady in pink tights
Cm
flew high above our heads
Ebdim
B
And as I sat there watching
Ebdim
Ab
Cm
I had the feeling that something was missing
Ebdim
I don't know what
B
Ebdim
But when it was all over
Cm
Ebm
I said to myself
Bb
G
"Is that all there is to the circus?"
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Cm
then let's keep dancing
Ab
Bb
Eb
Let's break out the booze
B
Ebdim
Ebm
Bb
and have a ball
A
D
Cm
If that's all there is
Ab
Ebm
And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful
Ebdim
Cm
boy in the world
Ebm
We'd take long walks
down by the river
Cm
Or just sit for hours gazing in
Ebm
to each other's eyes
Bb
We were so very much in love
Cm
And then one day
Ebm
He went away
Cm
And I thought I'd die
Ebm
But I didn't
Cm
And when I didn't
Ab
Ebm
I said to myself
Bb
G
"Is that all there is to love?"
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Ab
Cm
then let's keep
Ab
I know what you must be
B
saying to yourselves
Cm
If that's the way she feels
Ebdim
about it
Cm
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Ab
Ebm
Bb
Oh no. not me. I'm not ready
for the final disappointment
Cm
'Cause I know just as well as I'm stand
Ebdim
B
Cm
ing here talking to you
Ab
B
That when that final moment comes
Ab
And I'm breathing my last breath
I know what I'll be saying
Ebm
Bb
to myself
G
"Is that all there is?"
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Cm
then let's keep dancing
Ab
Bb
Let's break out the booze
Eb
Ebm
Bb
and have a ball
D
G
If that's all there i
