Verse 1:
           G
My life is this
            C     D
I don't get cold
           G
My life is this
            C     D
I don't get wet
           G
My life is this
        C     D
I never fold
           G
My life is this
           C    D
I'm a good bet


Bridge 1:

Am         Em            Bm
If I get behind a little bit 
Am                Em              Bm
At the point when other men would quit
Am           Em               Bm
I will get a bounce or two my way
Am                 Em                Bm
I'll come back and show that I'm the shit

E

Chorus:
          C#m
Well no matter what I did
       F#m
And try as I might
A               E           B7
Nothing I could do was ever right
             C#m
Well then karma added up
        F#m
With interest for so long
A                  E              B7
Now nothing that I try to do goes wrong
              A
And all these falls
                     B7
Well they took their toll
           A
But when I trip now
          B7         
I unearth gold

Verse 2:

My life is this

I don't get down

Except for when

I dance around

My life is this

I don't get hit

When someone fires

A lethal round


Bridge 2:

If you think you're getting too much flack

If you think that you're about to crack

The bandwagon doubles as my back

Climb right on and I'll pick up the slack



Chorus twice
