_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ Bro, _ I can't shake [D] this _ _ home the same
_ The _ _ _ _ singers [G] losing his wife
[A] Well, I might be crazy, but it wouldn't change the same thing about [D] this life
_ _ Sometimes you feel like champion _
_ Sometimes we just [G] can't win
_ [A] Sometimes our records hit the top of the charts or the discount [D] bar would bend
For all those 20 years of touring we remain partners brothers [G] and friends
[A] And we keep it together cause we're sure big time
[D] And _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [A] Jeffrey and _ Bobby will be [D] singing
[G] Our [D] favorite song
We're getting [G] by from the folks in the front row
[D] And the flame has a big hit strong

_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
I saw a story in the paper
_ _ Suddenly the [G] band's big news
_ [A] The critics [Bm] all [A] like my record this time
But they seem a bit [D] confused _
Well all they folk and rock are confused
Well it seems like everybody [G] cares but us
[A] So just leave us an early wake up call
So we don't [D] get so _ buzzed
_ _ _ _ [G] Long as Johnny's got his grill
_ [D] And Jimmy got his drums along
_ [A] And Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be [D] singing [G] our favorite [D] _ song
We're [G] getting by from the folks in the front row
And [D] the flame has a big hit strong
It's great to be a part of something so good that's lasted so long
Well all they folk and rock are confused
Well it seems like everybody cares but us
So we don't get so buzzed
It's [A] great to be [Bm] a part of something [G] so good [A] that's lasted [D] so long

_ [D] _ _ _ _ parents said I can't stand [A] my latest songs [G] too personal
_ _ [A] But my first wife's second marriage blew up
They had to get the [D] dang thing and know
_ Well if that ain't something you sing about
You tell me [G] what is
Well you [A] give it a beat
And put it on the street
And we just might [D] have another hit
So [G] just leave us an early wake up call
