[/] [D] [/] [A] [/] [D] [/] [D]  


They say the [/] [D] good die young but [/] it ain't for certain
I bin [/] [G] good all day [/] I ain't hurtin'
Not in [/] [D] any way...  [/] I'm too old to die [/] 
[/] [A] young... [/] [A] ...
I shouldn't [/] [D] talk too loud. [/] Bad luck is preying on the [/] 
[/] [G] proud ones. There's [/] nothin' like laying in a [/] 
[/] [D] graveyard... to [/] [A] teach you to hold your [/] 
[/] [D] tongue... [/] [D] ... 


They say the [/] [D] Devil was an angel back [/] in the beginnin' [/] 
[/] [G] So was I... but [/] nobody's pinnin' any [/] 
[/] [D] hopes on me [/] I ain't sayin' that they [/] 
[/] [A] ought'a...  [/] [A] ... 
I [/] [D] didn't wanna change but the [/] road kept slidin' in a [/] 
[/] [G] funny way. And [/] I kept ridin' on it  [/] 
[/] [D] anyway. Some- [/] [A] times you gotta'do what you gott- [/]
[/] [D] -a ... [/] [D] ... [/]  


{soc}
[/] [D] What they say. [/] [A] What they do
They'll [/] [G] swear it is. They'll [/] [D] think it's true [/] 
[/] [D] When they think at [/] all but they ain't [/] 
[/] [A] willin' ...[/] [A] ... 
If they [/] [D] cain't think of [/] what to say, they talk [/]
[/] [G] anyway.  It's [/] all cliché. [/]  
[/] [D] Fast food for the [/] [A] brain but not too [/]  
[/] [D] fillin' ... [/] [D] ... [/]

They say [/] [D] time and tide will [/] wait for no one.
The [/] [G] time it takes one [/] tide to go one 
[/] [D] time around the world [/] ...would leave you                 
[/] [A] spinnin' ... [/] [A] ... 
But now the [/] [D] race is on be- [/] tween the tide
And the [/] [G] people livin' [/] right beside it [/]
[/] [D] No one's drownin' [/] [A] yet but they ain't [/]                       
[/] [D] winnin' ... [/] [D] ... [/] 


{soc}
If [/] [D] words were wisdom, [/] [A] we'd all speak
And [/] [G] smarten up from [/] [D] week to week
Just [/] [D] sayin' "live and [/] learn". 
There's [/] [A] nothin' to it....  [/] [A] ... [/]   
[/] [D] Friends in need are [/] friends indeed
But the [/] [G] friends who think of [/] what we need
They [/] [D] hardly talk at [/] [A] all. They just 
[/] [D] do it... [/] [D] ... 
They [/] [D] hardly talk at [/] [A↓] all. They just 
[/] [G] do it... [/] [G] [D↓]
