[Verse]
E                                     
It’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop  

B 
waiting for a train

A                       
Exactly how I got here  

B
is hard to explain

E                                
My heart’s in the right place  

B
what’s left of it I guess

A                           
My heart ain’t the problem   

B
it’s my mind that’s a total mess

E                                
With these rickety old legs    

B
and these watery eyes

A                       
It’s hard to believe    

B
that I could pass for anybody’s prize

E                              
And here’s what I know about   

B
the gifts that God gave

A                            
You can’t take em with you   

B
when you go to the grave
[Chorus]
E                 C#m                          
It’ aint over yet ask someone who ought to know 

 A                            B
not so very long ago we were both hung out to dry

E                 C#m                          
It’ aint over yet you can mark my words don’t 

 A                                 B
care what you think you heard we’re still learning how to fly 

E
It’ aint over yet
[Verse]
E                   
For fools like me   

B
who were built for the chase

A                                  
It takes the right kind of woman  

B
to help you put it all in place

E                                   
It only happened once in my life     

 B
but man you should have seen

A                                     
Her hair two shades of fox tail red    

B
her eyes some far out sea blue green

E                                          
I got caught up making a name for myself   

B
you know what that’s about

A                                     
One day your ship comes rolling in    

B
the next day it just rolls back out

E                               
And you can’t take for granted  

B
none of this shit

A                            
The higher up yOu fly boys    

B
the harder it is you’re gonna get hit
[Chorus]
E                  C#m                      
It’ aint over yet  I’ll say this about that 

A                          B
you can get up off the mat or you can lay there til you die

E                  C#m                       
It’ aint over yet here’s the truth my friend 

 A                   B
you can’t pack it in and we both know why  

E
It’ aint over yet
[Bridge]
C#m        A                                  
Silly boys blind to get there first think of 

E                     B
second chances as some kind of curse

C#m        A                                 
I’ve known you for ever and ever it’s true if 

 E                     B
you came by it easy you wouldn’t be you

C#m        A          E                   B
You Make me laugh you make me cry you make me forget myself
[Verse]
E                          
Back when down on my luck    

 B
kept me up for days 

A                                     
You were there with the right words   

B
to help me cralw out of the maze 

E                                  
When I’d almost convinced myself   

B
I was hipper than thou

A                                    
You stepped up with a warning shot    

B
fired sweet and low across the bow

A                            
And you don’t walk on water   

B
and your sarcasm stings 

E                                              
But the way you move through this old world     

 B
sure makes a case of angel wings

A                                  
And I was half way to the bottom   

B
when you threw me that line

E                                 
And I’ll quote you now verbatim   

B
Get your head out of your own behind

A                                    
It’ aint over yet what you wanna bet  

 B
one more cigarette aint gonna send you to the grave

E                                             
It’ aint over yet I seen your new girlfriend 

B
thinks you’re the living end big old sparkle in her eye  

E
It’ aint over yet
