[Intro]
Bbm Gb (10x)
[Verse 1]
Gb Bbm Gb Happy birthday, you're halfway to 60 Bbm You have no land of your own, a job you despise Gb And a lover that's mean Bbm Gb And you started noticing a disturbing thing Bbm Gb Birds eating other birds just beyond the screen Bbm Gb So you packed up your things and hopped on the freeway headed east Bbm Gb And you drove for eight days aimlessly
[Chorus 1]
Gb Telling yourself to be humble Ab Singing to yourself to be free Gb Ab Being full aware that it's a middle-age crisis type thing
[Verse 2]
Bbm Gb And you drove 'til you saw a sign for a town called Luckey Bbm Gb Spelled L-U-C-K-E-Y Bbm Gb Where the sugar towers rise to line and meet the streets (meet the streets) Bbm Gb Checked into a motel, slept on cardboard sheets Gb7 Ab That covered the bloodstained mattress underneath Gb Gb7 Ab Bbm Went to the local bar and you got yourself a drink
[Chorus 2]
Ebm Ab Telling yourself to be humble Db Ab Bb Singing to yourself to be free Gb Eb7 Ab Fm Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing
[Interlude]
Bbm Gb (2x)
[Verse 3]
Gb Bbm Gb It was the most ragtag group you had ever seen Bbm Gb A slender man with a moustache on both sides nothing in between Bbm Gb Looking like a preacher's son who had given into the devil-worshipping scene Bbm Gb He was a real looker and he bought you a drink Ab And you proceeded to tell him everything Gb Ab And you were getting a bit hysterical it seemed Gb Ab You laughed like a carburetor and then you screamed Gb Ab Bbm All the doubt and the disbelief
[Chorus 3]
Ebm Ab Telling yourself to be humble Db Ab Bb Singing to yourself to be free Gb Eb7 Ab Fm Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing
[Bridge]
Bbm Gb And he told you how he came to be Bbm Gb As an altar boy by his father's knees Bbm Gb And how he came to lose his faith Bbm Gb There was no touching but advances were made Gb7 Ab And his father's hand in slow motion it was approaching him Gb Gb7 Ab And the doubt and disbelief crept over his young heart like the black ocean Gb Ab A stormcloud, a hurricane if you will Gb Ab Bbm A stormcloud, a hurricane
[Chorus 4]
Ebm Ab Telling yourself to be humble Db Ab Bb Singing to yourself to be free Gb Eb7 Ab Fm Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing
[Outro]
Ebm Ab Db Ab Bb Go home late, find yourself happy Gb Eb7 Ab Fm Db F7 It's just a middle-age crisis type thing Gb Eb7 Ab Fm Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing Gb Eb7 Ab Fm Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing Ebm7 Ab Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing Ebm7 Ab Db F7 It's a middle-age crisis type thing Ebm7 Ab Bbm It's a middle-age crisis type thing
