[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
They say, [D]"The
good die young," but it ain't for certain
I been [G]good all day, I ain't hurtin'
[D]Not in any way
I'm too old to die [A]young[D]

[Verse 2]
I shouldn't [D]talk too loud
Bad luck is preying on [G]the proud ones
There's nothin' like ly
[D]ing in a graveyard
[A]To teach you to hold your

[Interlude 1]
tongue
[D][A][D][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 3]
They say, "The [D]Devil was an
angel back in the beginnin'"
[G]So, was I nobody's
pinnin' any [D]hopes on me
I ain't sayin' that they [A]oughta
I [D]didn't

[Verse 4]
wanna change,
but the road kept slidin' in a [G]funny way
And I kept [D]ridin' on it anyway
[A]Sometimes, you do what you [D]gotta

[Verse 5]
[D]What they say, what they do
[G]They'll swear it is,
they'll [D]think it's true
When they think it all, but they ain't [A]willin'
If [D]they can't think of what to say,
they talk [G]anyway
It's all cliché fast [D]food for the [A]brain,

[Interlude 2]
but not too fillin'
[D][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 6]
They say, [D]"Time and tide will
wait for no- one"
[G]The time it takes one tide
to [D]go one time
Around the world would
leave you spin[A]nin'
[D]But the

[Verse 7]
race is on between the tide
An[G]d then, the people livin' right beside it
[D]No one's drownin' [A]yet,
but they ain't win[D]nin'

[Verse 8]
[D]If words were wisdom, we'd [A]all [D]speak
And [G]smarten [D]up [G]from week to [D]week
Just sayin',
"Live and learn," there's nothin' [A]to it
[D]Friends

[Verse 9]
in need are the friends indeed
But the [G]friends who think
of what we [D]need
They hardly talk at [A]all, they just [D]do it
They hardly talk at [A]all, they just [G]do it
[D]
