[Verse]
N.C             E
Ain't that the way the luck goes
A7                               E
Seems like it never can be found
         A7
Break my back to make those bank notes
                                   E
Payin' on an almost always broken down
         F#7
Fix that car nine ways to Sunday
              B7
And it won't start again when Monday rolls around

[Verse]
                E
Ain't that the way the rent goes
A7                           E
Seems like it's never goin' down
           A7
And that banker's bound to foreclose
                                             E
At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town
            F#7
Paint the walls mend the windows
           B7                                         E E7
'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground

[Chorus]
            A7                       E
I've been footin' the bill for some time
A7                           E
Stretchin' my credit out of line
        A7         Bbdim            E7           C#7
Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind
          F#7       B7              E
I've got one more payment and it's mine
We're gonna swing it

[Verse]
N.C.            E
Ain't that the way the heart goes
A7                                E
Seems they just attack without a sign
    A7
My mind's been on vacation
                               E
And my body's been workin' overtime
          F#7
But I've done all that I can do
              B7                               E   E7
There's just one more balance due before it's mine

[Chorus]
            A7                       E
I've been footin' the bill for some time
A7                               E
Step by step and line by dotted line
        A7                Bbdim
Well I haven't bought the farm yet
         E7           C#7
But I'm not that far behind
          F#7       B7              E
I've got one more payment and it's mine
E G7 F#7 E            G7    F#7      E
           One more payment and it's mine
E            G7    F#7      E
One more payment and it's mine
        G7
One more
        F#7
One more
        E
One more
