Key: D
Introduction:
D
The promoter says he wants to cancel
G
Cause there ain't enough tickets sold
A
The air conditioner on the bus just broke
D
and I can't shake this cold
The single lost the bullet,
G
the singer's losin' his wife
A
well I might be crazy but I wouldn't change
D
A single thing about this life.
Sometimes we feel like champions,
G
sometimes we just can't win,
A
sometimes our records hit the top of the charts
D
or the discount bargain bins.
Through 20 years of touring
G
We've remained partners, brothers, and friends
A
we keep it together cause we're sure
D
we're gonna be big time before it all ends.
G
Well you know you've got the Nitty Gritty
D
and Jimmy's got his drums along
A
then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be
D
singing all our favorite songs
G
Catch the fire from the folks in the front row
D G
fan the flames as the beat gets strong
D F# B A
it's great to be a part of something
G A D
so good that's lasted so long
Well I saw a story in the paper
G
suddenly the band's big news
A
the critics all like our records just fine
D
but they seem a bit confused
is it folk or rock or country
G
seems like everybody cares but us
A
so just leave us an early wakeup call
D
so we don't miss the bus
D G
The band says it can't stand my latest song, it's too personal
A
but my first wife's second marriage blew up
D
she had to get the dang thing annulled
well if that ain't something to sing about
G
well you tell me what is
A
and we'll give it a beat and put it on the street
D
and we just might have another hit
