[Verse]
EIt’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop  
Bwaiting for a train
AExactly how I got here  
Bis hard to explain
EMy heart’s in the right place  
Bwhat’s left of it I guess
AMy heart ain’t the problem   
Bit’s my mind that’s a total mess
EWith these rickety old legs    
Band these watery eyes
AIt’s hard to believe    
Bthat I could pass for anybody’s prize
EAnd here’s what I know about   
Bthe gifts that God gave
AYou can’t take em with you   
Bwhen you go to the grave
[Chorus]
EIt’ aint over yet C#mask someone who ought to know 
nAot so very long ago we were bBoth hung out to dry
EIt’ aint over yet C#myou can mark my words don’t 
cAare what you think you heard we’re Bstill learning how to fly 
EIt’ aint over yet
[Verse]
EFor fools like me   
Bwho were built for the chase
AIt takes the right kind of woman  
Bto help you put it all in place
EIt only happened once in my life     
bBut man you should have seen
AHer hair two shades of fox tail red    
Bher eyes some far out sea blue green
EI got caught up making a name for myself   
Byou know what that’s about
AOne day your ship comes rolling in    
Bthe next day it just rolls back out
EAnd you can’t take for granted  
Bnone of this shit
AThe higher up yOu fly boys    
Bthe harder it is you’re gonna get hit
[Chorus]
EIt’ aint over yet  C#mI’ll say this about that 
Ayou can get up off the mat Bor you can lay there til you die
EIt’ aint over yet hC#mere’s the truth my friend 
yAou can’t pack it in Band we both know why  
EIt’ aint over yet
[Bridge]
C#mSilly boys Ablind to get there first think of 
Esecond chances as some Bkind of curse
C#mI’ve known Ayou for ever and ever it’s true if 
yEou came by it easy you Bwouldn’t be you
C#mYou Make me Alaugh you Emake me cry you make Bme forget myself
[Verse]
EBack when down on my luck    
kBept me up for days 
AYou were there with the right words   
Bto help me cralw out of the maze 
EWhen I’d almost convinced myself   
BI was hipper than thou
AYou stepped up with a warning shot    
Bfired sweet and low across the bow
AAnd you don’t walk on water   
Band your sarcasm stings 
EBut the way you move through this old world     
sBure makes a case of angel wings
AAnd I was half way to the bottom   
Bwhen you threw me that line
EAnd I’ll quote you now verbatim   
BGet your head out of your own behind
AIt’ aint over yet what you wanna bet  
oBne more cigarette aint gonna send you to the grave
EIt’ aint over yet I seen your new girlfriend 
Bthinks you’re the living end big old sparkle in her eye  
EIt’ aint over yet

C#m

[Verse]

It’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop

waiting for a train

Exactly how I got here

is hard to explain

My heart’s in the right place

what’s left of it I guess

My heart ain’t the problem

it’s my mind that’s a total mess

With these rickety old legs

and these watery eyes

It’s hard to believe

that I could pass for anybody’s prize

And here’s what I know about

the gifts that God gave

You can’t take em with you

when you go to the grave

[Chorus]

E C#m

It’ aint over yet ask someone who ought to know

A B

not so very long ago we were both hung out to dry

E C#m

It’ aint over yet you can mark my words don’t

A B

care what you think you heard we’re still learning how to fly

It’ aint over yet

[Verse]

For fools like me

who were built for the chase

It takes the right kind of woman

to help you put it all in place

It only happened once in my life

but man you should have seen

Her hair two shades of fox tail red

her eyes some far out sea blue green

I got caught up making a name for myself

you know what that’s about

One day your ship comes rolling in

the next day it just rolls back out

And you can’t take for granted

none of this shit

The higher up yOu fly boys

the harder it is you’re gonna get hit

[Chorus]

E C#m

It’ aint over yet I’ll say this about that

A B

you can get up off the mat or you can lay there til you die

E C#m

It’ aint over yet here’s the truth my friend

A B

you can’t pack it in and we both know why

It’ aint over yet

[Bridge]

C#m A

Silly boys blind to get there first think of

E B

second chances as some kind of curse

C#m A

I’ve known you for ever and ever it’s true if

E B

you came by it easy you wouldn’t be you

C#m A E B

You Make me laugh you make me cry you make me forget myself

[Verse]

Back when down on my luck

kept me up for days

You were there with the right words

to help me cralw out of the maze

When I’d almost convinced myself

I was hipper than thou

You stepped up with a warning shot

fired sweet and low across the bow

And you don’t walk on water

and your sarcasm stings

But the way you move through this old world

sure makes a case of angel wings

And I was half way to the bottom

when you threw me that line

And I’ll quote you now verbatim

Get your head out of your own behind

It’ aint over yet what you wanna bet

one more cigarette aint gonna send you to the grave

It’ aint over yet I seen your new girlfriend

thinks you’re the living end big old sparkle in her eye

It’ aint over yet
