Verse 1
-------
                             
I get to the party, but I'm too late
                                 
And I got stood up on my very first date
                                    
I listen to country and everybody goes rock
                                                
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops

Pre-Chorus
----------
                              
It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
               
But here I go again

And I say

Chorus
------
              
Hey that's the story of my life
                        
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
         
Oh no I'm overdrawn
                          
I check my account and the money's all gone
        
Why me I don't know what to think
                            
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
                   
Seems to be the story of my life

Intro

Verse 2
-------
                                    
I pick a slot machine and lose it all again
                                       
But when I walk away, someone else always wins
                                    
When she finally calls me, I forget my phone
                                           
And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed

Pre-Chorus
----------
                             
It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends up the same
               
And here I go again

Chorus
------
              
Hey that's the story of my life
                        
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
         
Oh no I'm overdrawn
                          
I check my account and the money's all gone
        
Why me I don't know what to think
                            
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
                   
Seems to be the story of my life

Bridge
------
                                            
Just when it seems like it's turnin' 'round for me
                                        
There's always something that ends up happening
                               
I found my car but I can't find my keys

Verse 3
-------
I get to the party a little too late
And once again the music stops to play

Chorus
------
              
Hey that's the story of my life
                        
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
         
Oh no I'm overdrawn
                          
I check my account and the money's all gone
        
Why me I don't know what to think
                            
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
                   
Seems to be the story of my life
