E                         C#m
He´s drinking cold Corona,
feels like he's getting older
F#m               B
Now and noticing how he's finding
E                             C#m
grey hairs left in the shower,
tattoos fade by the hour
F#m                 B
And he can't understand these feelings
  A                      B
Why life is getting hom down,
                          E          G#     C#m
he used to smile now he frowns, and cries inside
           F#m
It's been this way for a while,
    F#                           B
and he can't seem to put things right

Chorus:
E                     A
When life has been unkind
F#m          F#         B
And you're losing your mind
G#                    C#m      B          A
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
               Am                 E
It feels like time's not on your side

He doesn't like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don't know he's heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He can't 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
He doesn't know
And in the daytime he just sits
and watches television shows

Chorus

F#                 B
Don't know wy but somehow,
                      F#
the ones you love you hate now
     B             F#
You feel down and blue
         D#m
Look at what you've thrown away
            C#
They stood beside you all the way
    B                                 E
Now it's too late, it's too late for you


Chorus
