Life Happens, Beer Helps

[Verse 1]
Burnt snag on the barbie plate
Rent’s late
Boss is on my back again
Sunburn peeling off in sheets
Still sand in the car from last weekend

Missed calls from mum and the bank
Petrol light’s been glowing for a week
Footy mob just lost by heaps
Whole pub’s swearing at the screen

[Chorus]
Life happens
Beer helps
Raise one up
Mate
To yourself
When it all goes sideways
Bottoms up
We laugh it off
We don’t give up
Life happens
Beer helps
From the bush to the breakwater shells
If you’re here
You’re doing well
Life happens
Beer helps (hey!)

[Verse 2]
Text from the ex at 2 a.m
Says she’s “happy now” with someone new
Scroll
Scroll
Everyone’s in Bali
You’re stuck stacking shelves on the arvo crew

But your mate just walked through the door
Two cold ones dripping from his hands
Says
“reckon it could all be worse”
And suddenly it’s not that bad

[Chorus]
Life happens
Beer helps
Raise one up
Mate
To yourself
When it all goes sideways
Bottoms up
We laugh it off
We don’t give up
Life happens
Beer helps
From the bush to the breakwater shells
If you’re here
You’re doing well
Life happens
Beer helps (oh yeah)

[Bridge]
To the heartbreaks
To the hard days
To the long drives on the highway
To the dumb jokes only we get
Clinking glass
Calling it a win

[Chorus]
Life happens
Beer helps
Raise one up
Mate
To yourself
When it all goes sideways
Bottoms up
We laugh it off
We don’t give up
Life happens
Beer helps
From the outback dust to the coastal swells
If you’re here
You’re doing well
Life happens
Beer helps
