♫ Verse 1:
D     Dsus4 D  Dsus4
Sally came home today
D          Dsus4 D
Didn’t have a whole lot to say
      G          Gadd11  G
Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck
   Gadd11 D    Dsus4 D  Dsus4
Took a drag off her cigarette

♫ Verse 2:
D       Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Gary’s still stuck at work
 D          Dsus4 D
Spilled a green juice on his shirt
       G        Gadd11  G
Steps outside for a little air
   Gadd11    D        Dsus4 D
Half listens to whoever’s standing near


♫ Chorus:
G            D
 Half a glass of wine and half a cigarette
G          D
 Half the truth and see how far you get
  A        Asus4  A      Asus4
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
     G      Gadd11 G
And your consolation prize
D    Dsus4 D
Half life   (half life)


♫ Verse 3:
D         Dsus4 D  Dsus4
Sally gets herself into  bed
D          Dsus4 D
Takes half a pill to quiet her head
    G     Gadd11 G
Watches a little TV
        Gadd11 D      Dsus4 D
And drifts off into a half a sleep


♫ Chorus:
G        D
 Half a husband, half a car
G              D
 Going half the distance not gеtting very far
A    Asus4 A     Asus4
 Half mother
half wife
     G      Gadd11 G
And your consolation prize
D    Dsus4 D    Dsus4
Half life   (half life)


♫ Verse 4:
D            Dsus4
Gary gets home after dark
D
Sits a while with his car in park
   G
Just daydreaming
    D
Smoking a little green


♫ Chorus:
G          D
 Half the time a dad, half the time at work
G            D
 Half the time worrying exactly what a soul is worth
  A        Asus4  A      Asus4
For all of that struggle and all of that strife
   G      Gadd11 G
Your consolation prize
D
Half life
G        D
Half baked plans, half hearted dreams
G             D
 Half the time wondering exactly what it means
  A             Bm
You hurry going nowhere, time cuts you like a knife
     G  Gadd11 G
And your consolation prize
       D  Dsus4
Oh, half life
 D    Dsus4  D  Dsus4
(Half life)
 D    Dsus4
(Half life)


♫ Outro:
