INTRO: G+G  Cmaj7Cmaj7   Cmaj7Cmaj7   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD

VERSE 1:
G+G                       Cmaj7Cmaj7    G+G
Some folks don?t like working hard, some folks don?t like rain
G+G                Dsus4Dsus4         D MajorD
Some folks love to tell you all about their aches and pains
G+G                      G/BG/B  C majorC
Me, I take the hand I?m dealt, and I play it as it lays
         G+G  D MajorD        G+G     Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD
It?s the cost of living, and everyone pays

VERSE 2:
G+G                  Cmaj7Cmaj7     G+G
You can live in memories of all your golden yesterdays
G+G             G/BG/B      Dsus4Dsus4     D MajorD
Or spend your whole life grieving for the one that got away
G+G                      G/BG/B  C majorC
Common sense says let her go, but your heart disobeys
          G+G  D MajorD        G+G    G/AG/A - G/BG/B
It?s the cost of living, and everyone pays

BRIDGE:
C majorC              G+G   G/F# E minorEm        A augmentedA      D MajorD
Blue shadows falling all around me,  still I don?t regret a single day

INSTRUMENTAL: G+G   G7G7 G7/B C majorC    G+G  D MajorD  G+G

VERSE 3:
G+G                  Cmaj7Cmaj7  G+G
I look in the mirror now, I see the time can be unkind
G+G              Dsus4Dsus4       D MajorD
But I know every wrinkle, and I earned every line
G+G                      G/BG/B   C majorC
So wear it like a royal crown, when you get old and grey
          G+G  D MajorD       G+G    G/AG/A - G/BG/B
It?s the cost of living, and everyone pays
C majorC         G+G  D MajorD      Cmaj7Cmaj7   G+G   Cmaj7Cmaj7 D MajorD   G+G
It?s the cost of living, and everyone pays
