Tom: Em
G G
My septic tank is backing up, One of my six dogs just had twelve pups
G C
And I ain't even had my breakfast yet
Am D
The IRS is on the phone, the bank's hitching up my trailer home
C D
Lately I've been having sharp pains in my chest
C D7
I guess I really ought to be upset
[Chorus]
G C
But I take life with a grain of salt, I don't get worked up at all
D7 G D7
I'm never down, no, I'm always flying high
G C
When folks ask how I maintain my Zen-like state of mind, I tell 'em
D7 C D7 G
I take life with a grain of salt ... and a little slice of lime
[Verse]
D C G
You can't beat a margarita to wash away the blues
D C G
This world is mean and it can seem like you were born to lose
B7 Em
But I've got ice and I've got a blender, so let the bad times roll
A D D7
As long as Cuervo makes tequila, I'll be good as gold
[Chorus]
G C
But I take life with a grain of salt, I don't get worked up at all
D7 G D7
I'm never down, no, I'm always flying high
G C
When folks ask how I maintain my Zen-like state of mind, I tell 'em
D7 C D7 G
I take life with a grain of salt ... and a little slice of lime
[Instrumental]
D G(2x) C(2x) D(2x) G E(key change)
[Outro]
A D
I've got a sunny disposition even when that sun don't shine
E D E
Cause I take life with a grain of salt, some Triple Sec and a double shot
D E A
Splash of Quattro on the rocks and a little slice of lime
