Some folks don’t like working hard, some folks don’t like rain

Some folks love to tell you all about their aches and pains

G                                            G/B    C    
Me, I take the hand I’m dealt, and I play it as it lays

                  G    D               G         Cmaj7  D
It’s the cost of living, and everyone pays

Or spend your whole life grieving for the one that got away

Common sense says let her go, but your heart disobeys

Blue shadows falling all around me,    still I don’t regret a single day
[Instrumental] G G7 G7/B C G D G [Verse 3]
G                                    Cmaj7   G        
I look in the mirror now, I see the time can be unkind

G                           Dsus4             D      
But I know every wrinkle, and I earned every line

G                                           G/B      C    
So wear it like a royal crown, when you get old and grey

                   G    D              G       G/A - G/B
It’s the cost of living, and everyone pays

C                  G    D            Cmaj7     G      Cmaj7  D      G
It’s the cost of living, and everyone pays
