D
He's drinking cold Corona
Bm
Feels like is getting older
Em               A
Now and noticing how he's finding
D
Grey hairs left in the shower
Bm
Tattoos fade by the hour
Em                  A
And he can't understand these feelings

Pre-chorus

G                       A
Why life is getting him down
                        D
He used to smile now he frowns
    D/C#   Bm
And cries inside
        Em
Its been this way for a while
    E                           A
And he can't seem to put things right

Chorus

D             D7     G    G/F#     Em
When life has been unkind
             E         A        A/G
And you're losing your mind
F#                    Bm     Bm/A        Em
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
              Gm                    D     A  D       A  D
It feels like time's not on your side



Verse 2 (Same chords)

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 cant afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he's buying

Pre chorus 2

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

Bridge

 C#m?              A
Dont know why but somehow
        C#m?
The ones you love you hate now,
        B         E
You feel down and blue
        C#m
Look at what you've thrown away
            B
They stood beside you all the way
E|---------------------|

(there's probably an A7 chord in there somewhere - you need to experiment)

    A
Now its too late, its too late for you
