Why did I break off more than to bite

Losing in the last frame
A A! A! G D
Stew all my complications and my reasons in the yard
D Bm A G (fill2)
Bars and guitars, guns and girls
A G D
With my yellow coat off, told the kid to get lost

He's runnin' his mouth to some bikers
E F#m G A
Tally your wins with a buck toothed grin
Bm C Asus4 A
Cuz life is too short of course
Asus4 A
Too short of course
D A
Life's junk will suck the will right out 'ya
G D
Hold on lord, I can't do it without ya
Bm A G D
Seems like a lot of gray in the world

Women, Wine and Song, Women, Wine and Song
Will make it all move along to a lovely beat
Bm A G (fill 2)
(intro again, with some Joel solo,
Then repeat everything else)
Drinker of elixir at 3 in the morning
Playin' all the wrong games
Try to maim a doe and bring her back home
Even for breakfast in the morning (fill4)
(Make that 3 eggs)
Got too excited made her feel like prey
Lost her in the last phase
Tally your wins but you'll lose again
Cuz life is too short of course
It's too short of course
Life's trouble sucked the wind right out 'ya
Hold on lord, I can't do it without ya
Seems like a lot of gray in the world
Women, Wine and Song, Women, Wine and Song
Will make it all move along to another day, yea
Life's trouble sucked the wind right out 'ya
Hold on lord, I can't do it without ya
Seems like a lot of gray in the world
Women, Wine and Song, Women, Wine and Song
Will make it all move along to another day, yea
