G

[Verse 1]
               G
Yeah, I'm just sittin' here counting my money
C
Wonderin' why you're in love with me, honey
    G                Em                   Am   D
And why everybody is so high-strung these days
    G
The price of livin' here has gone sky high
    C
But guys like me, we're always gettin' by
G                     D                  G
Babe told me, "A lean dog can run a long race"

[Chorus]
C                  G
 All I know is you gotta keep tryin'
D                           Em        G
Gotta laugh now and then to keep from cryin'
    C                  G         Em
The only sure thing is taxes and dyin'
         G                D           G
And your lovin' makes the livin' worthwhile

[Verse 2]
     G
Some days I'm more gone than here
C
Some days I like to just sit and drink beer
    G                 Em               Am
And some days I can't wait until I get home
G
All I like to do is play music and golf
    C
The money I make pays the IRS off
    G                   D                   G
Without you, Susan, I'd simply be a rollin' stone

[Chorus]
C                  G
 All I know is you gotta keep tryin'
    D                           Em        G
You gotta laugh now and then to keep from cryin'
    C                  G         Em
The only sure thing is taxes and dyin'
         G                D           G
But your lovin' makes the livin' worthwhile

[Bridge]
Em                          D
 Ooh, without you, I'd have no one to sleep with
Em                            D
 Nobody to laugh with late at night
Em                         D
 Without you there'd be no light in the window
Am7           Am        D     D7
There'd be no reason to write

[Instrumental]
G  C  G  Em  Am  D
G  C  G  D  G

[Chorus]
C                  G
 All I know is you gotta keep tryin'
    D                           Em        G
You gotta laugh now and then to keep from cryin'
    C                  G         Em
The only sure thing is taxes and dyin'
         G                D           G
Ah, your lovin' makes the livin' worthwhile

[Verse 3]
      G
Well, I been screwed and sued and tattooed
C
I'm standin' right here in front of you
G                    Em                   Am    D
Tellin' you even the president makes a mistake
G
We're all livin' life day to day
    C
The whole damn world's just feelin' its way
    G                    D                     G
But you can tell 'em ol' Jerry Jeff said it's okay

[Chorus]
C                  G
 All I know is you gotta keep tryin'
D                           Em        G
Gotta laugh now and then to keep from crying
    C                  G         Em
The only sure thing is taxes and dyin'
              G                D           G
And that your lovin' makes the livin' worthwhile
          G
Makes you smile
