[Verse 1]
D
My ship came in and she sunk it,
G
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
D G
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.
D A D
And now she’s putting on shows and I get to play the clown.
[Verse 2]
D
I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
G
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
D G
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
D A D
I got the shortend of the chicken she got the golden goose.
[Chorus]
G D
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
E A
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unwound
G D G
Everybody laughing behind my back man, sure is a sad old sound
D A D
She’s out there living it up and I’m trying to live it down
[Solo]
D7 A7
[Verse 3]
D
I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
G
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
D G
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
D A D
Sometimes you get the honey sometimes all you get is the sting
[Chorus]
G D
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
E A
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unwound
G D G
Everybody laughing behind my back baby, sure is a sad old sound
D A D
She’s out there living it up and I’m trying to live it down
D A D7 A7 D7
She’s living it up and I may never live it down
