Verse:
Bb           Gm        Cm
It's been a long year
                       Dm
As far as I can see
              Bb
I could use a vacation
                  Cm                 Bb
But I gotta take care of my family
                    Gm             Cm
Wrapping up another hard work day
                          Dm
I've gotta get back home
                G7                        Cm
So I shift into third gear and I cruise out
                Bb
To my favorite song
                        Cm     F
And still I don't know why
                        Bb      Gm
I'm always putting up a fight
                  Cm        F
When I'm so damn tired
              Bb        Gm
From working overtime

Chorus:
Cm                  F
If I can't get into heaven
  Gm                Cm
I best be revvin my CJ7
                          F
Now ain't that the life
               Bb                   Gm
Ain't that the life -Ain't that the life-
               Cm      F
Ain't that the life

Verse:
Bb                Gm         Cm
Stepping into the morning
                  Dm
Sunglasses on
                 G7                   Cm                        Bb
Head's a little weak from drinking all of these nights alone
                      Gm         Cm
If I can stay out of trouble
                          Dm
May be the death of me
                       G7
But I was branded as a harmony rebel with
  Cm             Bb
a tattoo at fifteen.
                       Cm     F
And still I don't know why
                        Bb      Gm
I'm always putting up a fight
                  Cm        F
When I'm so damn tired
              Bb        Gm
From working overtime

Chorus:
Cm                     F
If I can't get it into heaven
           Bb        Gm
I best be revvin my CJ7
                   Cm        F
Now ain't that the life
                         Bb   Gm
That keeps rolling me by
               Cm       F
Two kids and a wife
                  Bb     Gm
My Miss. American pie

Outro:
Cm                     F
If I can't get it into heaven
  Gm                Cm
I best be revvin my CJ7
                          F
Now ain't that the life
               Bb                   Gm
Ain't that the life -Ain't that the life-
               Cm      F      Bb
Ain't that the life

Ooo-woah-ooo-woah-oh
