VERSE 
G                              Dm           Am 
You’re the life of the party, everybody’s host 
           C                      G 
Still you need somewhere you can hide 
Dm                                   Am 
All your good-time friends and your fair-weather has-beens 
C                                     G 
Lord knows….they’re just along for the ride 
E7                               Am 
You think you’re a survivor, but boy you better think twice 
G                Dm          D 
No one rides for nothing, so step up and pay the price 


            F     C             G    Am

             F   C          G    Dm                  Am 
Ain’t it high time      you turned yourself around 
             F  C    G              Am 
Yeah, the high cost of low living 
Eb                F              C 
Bound to put you six feet in the ground

G                           Dm               Am 
So many here who love you still you just can’t tell 

C                                         G 
The real ones from those that drop your name 

Dm                                           Am 
All the while behind your back they rip the flesh right from 
your bones 

C                                     G 
you should know by now we’re all fair game 

E7                                        Am 
You been chasing each dream with whiskey  From here to Tokyo 

G                               Dm                               D 
Using up all your real friends  No places left to go

It’s the high cost of low living 
             F   C      G   Dm                  Am 
Ain’t it high time you turned yourself around 
                F    C         G    Am 
Yeah, the high cost of low living 
Eb                       F                  C 
Bound to put you six feet in the ground
