Am Am
My days are shaded gray And my nights are shaded blue
Am Am
My face is lined with worry And my mind is split in two
[Verse 2]
Am Am
Feel just like a man Who's last real hope is gone
Am Am
Morality and religion Didn't teach me right from wrong
[Chorus]
C D
And I need a little something Oh, just to mellow my days
Am Am
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In life’s one act play
[Verse 3]
Am Am
The world is changing fast Ain't got time to think twice
Am Am
Wanna keep on the ball Then you got to pay the price
[Verse 4]
Am Am
You can't judge the future By looking at the past
Am Am
And there ain't nobody out there Who you can stop and ask
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, I need a little something Just to mellow my days
Am Am
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In life’s one act play
[Bridge]
G F
Some people think, oh yes they do They found the way
Am Am
But they're a dime a dozen You can see them every day
G F
Some people are happy In their delusions
E E
Oh, I wish sometimes I could share, I could share their illusions
[Verse 5]
Am Am
But nobody really knows What this life is all about
Am Am
Those who think they do Are the ones who should have doubts
[Verse 6]
Am Am
Sometimes I wonder What they are going to do
Am Am
When their cozy dreams are shattered And reality shows through
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, I need a little something Just to mellow my days
Am Am
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In life’s one act play
[Guitar Solo]
G G F F Am Am Am Am

[Chorus]
C D
And I need a little something Just to mellow my days
Am Am
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting In life’s one act play
[Ending]
Am Am
In life’s one act play In life’s one act play
Am
In life’s one act play
