He s drinking cold Corona
Feels like is getting older
Now and noticing how he s finding
Grey hairs left in the shower
Tattoos fade by the hour
And he can t understand these feelings
Pre-chorus
Why life is getting him down
He used to smile now he frowns
And cries inside
Its been this way for a while
And he can t seem to put things right
Chorus
When life has been unkind
And you re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you ll find
It feels like time s not on your side
Verse 2 (Same chords)
He doesn t like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don t know he s heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He cant afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he s buying
Pre chorus 2
He s been a drunk all his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
He doesn t know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
Chorus
Bridge
?
Dont know why but somehow
?
The ones you love you hate now,
You feel down and blue
Look at what you ve thrown away
They stood beside you all the way

Chorus
Enjoy! It really is a great song, let me know if the chords work, hope they did they
sound correct when I play them!
