Lyrics

Dy in’ (F)ain’t (G)so (C)bad,

not if (F)you both (G)go to (C)geth er.

On ly (Am)when one’s left be (G)hind (F)does it get (C)sad.

But a (Dm7)short and (Em7)lov ing (Fmaj7)life, that ain’t so (C)bad.

I on ly hope to God that I go (Bm7)first,

I (E)could n’t live on (Am)mem or ies, I’m (C)sor ry, but I’m (F)not that strong.

There are some things in life you can’t re place,

a (E)love like ours don’t (Am)hap pen twice.

When (C)all his days are (Fmaj7)through,

mine will be (C)too.

’Cause dy in’ (F)ain’t (G)so (C)bad,

not if (F)you both (G)go to (C)geth er.

On ly (Am)when one’s left be (G)hind (F)does it get (C)sad.

But a (Dm7)short and (Em7)lov ing life, that ain’t so (F)bad.

I’ve met boys who (F)talk a bout farms and hor ses and they (C)don’t do much for me.

I don’t (Dm7)need to end up (F)in a rock ing chair.

Seems you get to (F)live your life just once, and if that’s (Bm7)how it’s got ta be.

And I’d (Dm7)rath er breathe in life than dust y (G)air.

(G)Dy in’ (F)ain’t (G)so (C)bad,

not if (F)you both (G)go to (C)geth er.

On ly (Am)when you’re left a lone does it get sad.

But a (Dm7)short and (Em7)lov ing (Fmaj7)life,

a (Dm7)short and (Em7)lov ing (Fmaj7)life,

a (Dm7)short and (Em7)lov ing (Fmaj7)life, that ain’t so bad.
