I Never Expected

G  C
I never expected to last this long
F                              C
It caught me completely by surprise
F                      C         
I put aside enough to let me live
    A7
 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      
Oh but it's just my luck, I 
        A7
outlived my bucks
D                             G
It's the saddest story ever told
F              G             C  
Oh, how could I have got this 
      G
old

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

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

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

C
Live fast, die young have a good 
lookin' corpse
F                            C
That's the motto we live so well
F                            C   
So I played it hard and high but 
               A7
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                                 
So buddy can you spare a quarter, 
C                           A7
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
