  			E                        A 
 He´s drinking cold Corona, feels like he's getting older  
F#m               B 
 Now and noticing how he's finding  
E                              A 
 grey hairs left in the shower, tattoos fade by the hour  
F#m               B 
 And he can't understand these feelings  
A                         B     
 Why life is getting hom down,  
                          E          G#    C#m 
he used to smile now he frowns, and cries inside 
           F#m                    F#                             B 
It's been this way for a while, and he can't seem to put things right  

E                     A 
 When life has been unkind  
F#m                      B 
 And you're losing your mind  
G#                    C#m      B           A 
 Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find  
               Am                 E 
It feels like time's not on your side 

E                         A 
 He doesn't like to mention, applying for his pension 
F#m                    B 
 so his children don't know he's heading  
E                              A 
 into a mid-lifer cricis, he can't afford the prices 
F#m                   B 
 for the new kitchen floor he's buying  
A                         B     
 He's been a drunk of his life   
                        E       G#    C#m 
two kids a dog and a wife, he doesn't know 
           F#m                      F#                   B 
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows  

E                     A 
 When life has been unkind  
F#m                      B 
 And you're losing your mind  
G#                    C#m      B           A 
 Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find  
               Am                 E 
It feels like time's not on your side 

F#                 B                             F# 
 Don't know wy but somehow,the ones you love you hate now 
     B             F# 
You feel down and blue 
         D#m 
Look at what you've thrown away  
            C# 
They stood beside you all the way  
     B                                 E 
Now it's too late, it's too late for you  


E                     A 
 When life has been unkind  
F#m                      B 
 And you're losing your mind  
G#                    C#m      B           A 
 Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find  
               Am                 E 
It feels like time's not on your side
