  A                     G           D
  Why did I break off more than to bite

  D                        Fill1
  Losing in the last frame

  A           A!    A!             G              D
  Stew all my complications and my reasons in the yard

  D                  Bm         A          G   Fill2
  Bars and guitars,  guns and girls

          A                          G           D
  With my yellow coat off, told the kid to get lost

  D                                 Fill1 > Fill3
  He's runnin' his mouth to some bikers

  E            F#m         G            A
  Tally your wins with a buck toothed grin

      Bm          C          Asus4     A
  Cuz life is too short of course

      Asus4             A
  Too short of course

  D                          A
  Life's junk will suck the will right out 'ya

  G                     D
  Hold on lord, I can't do it without ya

  Bm           A        G            D
  Seems like a lot of gray in the world

  Riff1
  Women, Wine and Song, Women, Wine and Song
  Will make it all move along to a lovely beat

  Bm  A  G  Fill2

Now the intro again, with some Joel solo,
Then repeat everything else...

  Drinker of elixir at 3 in the morning
  Playin' all the wrong games

  Try to maim a doe and bring her back home
  Even for breakfast in the morning (Fill4)
  (Make that 3 eggs)

  Got too excited made her feel like prey
  Lost her in the last phase

  Tally your wins but you'll lose again
  Cuz life is too short of course
  It's too short of course

  Life's trouble sucked the wind right out 'ya
  Hold on lord, I can't do it without ya
  Seems like a lot of gray in the world
  Women, Wine and Song, Women, Wine and Song
  Will make it all move along to another day, yea

  Life's trouble sucked the wind right out 'ya
  Hold on lord, I can't do it without ya
  Seems like a lot of gray in the world
  Women, Wine and Song, Women, Wine and Song
  Will make it all move along to another day, yea

  Bm  A  G  Fill5
