[Verse 1]
D
My ship came in and she sunk it,
          G
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
        D                                              G
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.
               D                    A                D
And now she’s putting on shows and I get to play the clown.

[Verse 2]
D
I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
          G
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
           D                                     G
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
          D                       A                  D
I got the shortend of the chicken she got the golden goose.

[Chorus]
G                                        D
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
                                   E                   A
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unwound
G                                      D                 G
Everybody laughing behind my back man, sure is a sad old sound
D                                 A                    D
She’s out there living it up and I’m trying to live it down

[Verse 3]
D
I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
         G
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
            D                                            G
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
     D                      A                            D
Sometimes you get the honey sometimes all you get is the sting

[Chorus]
G                                        D
She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
                                   E                   A
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unwound
G                                        D                 G
Everybody laughing behind my back baby, sure is a sad old sound
                D                 A                    D
She’s out there living it up and I’m trying to live it down
D                        A                 D7    A7    D7
She’s living it up and I may never live it down
