He's drinking cold Corona
(hammer on these chords)
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
Bridge
Why life is getting him down
He used to smile now he frowns
(then this:x04420)
And cries inside
Its been this way for a while
And he can't seem to put things right

When life has been unkind
(then: XX2000)
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

He doesn't like to mention
(hammer on these chords)
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
He's been a drunk all his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
(then this:x04420)
He doesn't know
And in the daytime he just sits
and watches television shows
When life has been unkind
(then: XX2000)
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
Middle:
(x79897) ? (X798107
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
X02022 X02023
But its too late, ITS TOO LATE FOR YOU
When life has been unkind
(then: XX2000)
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
