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

              A/C#
waiting for a train

              G
Exactly how I got here

   A
is hard to explain

D
My heart’s in the right place

       A/C#
what’s left of it I guess

   G
My heart ain’t the problem

        A
it’s my mind that’s a total mess

           D
With these rickety old legs

          A/C#
and these watery eyes

     G
It’s hard to believe

     A
that I could pass for anybody’s prize

    D
And here’s what I know about

    A/C#
the gifts that God gave

    G
You can’t take em with you

         A
when you go to the grave
[Chorus]
         D             Bm
It ain't over yet ask someone who ought to know

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

         D                Bm
It ain't over yet you can mark my words

       Em                                       A
Don't care what you think you heard we’re still learning how to fly

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

         A/C#
who were built for the chase

             G
It takes the right kind of woman

   A
to help you put it all in place

   D
It only happened once in my life

    A/C#
but man you should have seen

    G
Her hair two shades of foxtail red

    A
her eyes some far out sea blue green

      D
I got caught up making a name for myself

              A/C#
you know what that’s about

    G
One day your ship comes rolling in

    A
the next day it just rolls back out

              D
And you can’t take for granted

             A/C#
none of this shit

    G
The higher up you fly boys

    A
the harder it is you’re gonna get hit
[Chorus]
         D                  Bm
It ain't over yet  I’ll say this about that

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

         D                   Bm
It ain't over yet here’s the truth my friend

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

         D
It ain't over yet
[Bridge]
Bm                 G
Silly boys blind to get there first think of

D                 A
second chances as some kind of curse

Bm                G
I’ve known you for-ever and ever

       D                   A
If you came by it easy you wouldn’t be you

            Bm                G5maj7             D
You make me laugh you make me cry you make me forget myself
[Verse]
          D
Back when down on my luck

A/C#
kept me up for days

          G
You were there with the right words

   A
to help me crawl out of the maze

          D
When I’d almost convinced myself

      A/C#
I was hipper than thou

    G
You stepped up with a warning shot

A
fired sweet and low across the bow

        D
And you don’t walk on water

          A/C#
and your sarcasm stings

        G
But the way you move through this old world

     A
sure makes a case for angel wings

          D
And I was half way to the bottom

         A/C#
when you threw me that line

         G
And I’ll quote you now verbatim

         A
Get your head out of your own behind
[Chorus]
         D                 Bm
It ain't over yet what you wanna bet

         Em                    A
one more cigarette ain't gonna send you to the grave

         D                    Bm
It ain't over yet I seen your new girlfriend

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

         D
It ain't over yet
