LIFE'LL KILL YOU As recorded by Warren Zevon (From the 2000 Album LIFE'LL KILL YOU) [Intro] G E G [Verse 1]
G             C               G
You've got an invalid haircut

       C                    G
And it hurts when you smile

             C               
You'd better get out of town

G           C                G
Before your nickname expires

         C                      G
It's the kingdom of the spiders

         C                  G
It's the empire of the ants

           C               G
You need a permit to walk around downtown

           C                G
You need a license to dance
[Chorus]
          Em      C
Life will kill you

Am                
That's what I said

Em        G
Life will kill you

    C              D
And then you'll be dead

          Em      
Life will find you

    C          
Wherever you go

D             Em
Requiescat in pace

G      C            Em C  
That's all she wrote
[Verse 2]
C                                Em    G
From the President of the United States

C                             G   C
To the lowliest rock and roll star

                 Em
The doctor is in and he'll see you now

Am                    G   D
He don't care who you are

C                         G
Some get the awful, awful diseases

C                                G
Some get the knife, some get the gun

C                            G    C
And some get to die in their sleep

                            G
At the age of a hundred and one
[Chorus]
              Em      G C
But life will kill you

Am                
That's what I said

Em        G
Life will kill you

    C              D
And then you'll be dead

          Em      
Life will find you

    C          
Wherever you go

G             Em
Requiescat in pace

G      C            Em C D 
That's all she wrote
[Bridge]
Em   C
Maybe you'll go to Heaven

Gm               Bb
See uncle Al and uncle Lou

    Am              D
And maybe you'll be reincarnated

C                  G
Maybe that stuff's true

Bb
Maybe if you were good

       Am
You'll come back as someone nice

    G 
And maybe if you were bad

                       D
You'll have to pay the price
[Chorus]
              Em      G C
But life will kill you

Am                
That's what I said

Em        G
Life will kill you

    C              D
And then you'll be dead

          Em      
Life will find you

    C          
Wherever you go

G             Em
Requiescat in pace

G                   
That's all she wrote
