G  C
I never expected to last this long
F                              C                                          
It caught me completely by surprise
F                      C             A7
I put aside enough to let me live just fine
D                                G 
But I never guessed I'd last past 49

C
I thought by now my friends would be toasting my memory
F                               C
While the Devil was toasting my souL
F                         C              A7
Oh but it's just my luck, I outlived my bucks
D                             G 
It's the saddest story ever told
F              G             C        G
Oh, how could I have got this old

C                                                         F                    C
Hey Mel, you should have bought a piece of the rock...Or a no risk retirement plan

   F                       C         A7     D                    G   
But instead I invested in all night bars, slow dancing ladies, fast moving cars
C                                                         F                        C
I thought by now I'd be safe resting peaceful in my grave due to all the women and song
F                          C                      A7
So I'd made no preparations for a drawn out situation

D                                          
How could you have been so wrong?
F                G              C     G
I never dreamed I'd last this long

C
Live fast, die young have a good lookin' corpse
F                            C
That's the motto we live so well
F                            C                  A7
So I played it hard and high but somehow I didn't die
D                             G
And I think my corpse is gonna look like hell


C
And the slight miscalculation on the date of my expiration
F                              C
Left me singing this sad, sad song
F                                 C                           A7
So buddy can you spare a quarter, I'm living longer than I oughter
D
How could you have been so wrong?
F               G                C
I never thought i'd last this long
A7               A
Pour me the metamucl
F             G               C
Never thought I'd Last this long
