[Verse]
EIt’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop
Bwaiting for a train
AExactly how I got here
Bis hard to explain
EMy heart’s in the right place
Bwhat’s left of it I guess
AMy heart ain’t the problem
Bit’s my mind that’s a total mess
EWith these rickety old legs
Band these watery eyes
AIt’s hard to believe
Bthat I could pass for anybody’s prize
EAnd here’s what I know about
Bthe gifts that God gave
AYou can’t take em with you
Bwhen you go to the grave
[Chorus]
EIt’ aint over yet C#mask someone who ought to know
nAot so very long ago we were bBoth hung out to dry
EIt’ aint over yet C#myou can mark my words don’t
cAare what you think you heard we’reB still learning how to fly
EIt’ aint over yet
[Verse]
EFor fools like me
Bwho were built for the chase
AIt takes the right kind of woman
Bto help you put it all in place
EIt only happened once in my life
bBut man you should have seen
AHer hair two shades of fox tail red
Bher eyes some far out sea blue green
EI got caught up making a name for myself
Byou know what that’s about
AOne day your ship comes rolling in
Bthe next day it just rolls back out
EAnd you can’t take for granted
Bnone of this shit
AThe higher up yOu fly boys
Bthe harder it is you’re gonna get hit
[Chorus]
EIt’ aint over yet C#mI’ll say this about that
Ayou can get up off the mat Bor you can lay there til you die
EIt’ aint over yet hC#mere’s the truth my friend
yAou can’t pack it in Band we both know why
EIt’ aint over yet
[Bridge]
C#mSilly boys Ablind to get there first think of
Esecond chances as someB kind of curse
C#mI’ve known Ayou for ever and ever it’s true if
yEou came by it easy youB wouldn’t be you
C#mYou Make meA laugh you Emake me cry you makeB me forget myself
[Verse]
EBack when down on my luck
kBept me up for days
AYou were there with the right words
Bto help me cralw out of the maze
EWhen I’d almost convinced myself
BI was hipper than thou
AYou stepped up with a warning shot
Bfired sweet and low across the bow
AAnd you don’t walk on water
Band your sarcasm stings
EBut the way you move through this old world
sBure makes a case of angel wings
AAnd I was half way to the bottom
Bwhen you threw me that line
EAnd I’ll quote you now verbatim
BGet your head out of your own behind
AIt’ aint over yet what you wanna bet
oBne more cigarette aint gonna send you to the grave
EIt’ aint over yet I seen your new girlfriend
Bthinks you’re the living end big old sparkle in her eye
EIt’ aint over yet
