It's so Dcold that I can barely even hold Bmmy own cup of coffee
It's no Afair, I don't really care if you come around Ghere now just to mock me
It's not a Dbig deal some consider this a steal
All in good Bmform, just trying to keep you warm
With the shelter of my Aarm, wrapped around your back
With a fake acting yGawn that made you want to laugh
[Chorus]
All in good Dform ya ya yBma
Just trying to keep Awarm, Just trying to keep Gwarm
With the shelter of my Darm ya ya yBma
Shelter of my Aarm, shelter of my Garm
All in good Dform ya ya yBma
Just trying to keep Awarm, Just trying to keep Gwarm
With the shelter of my Darm ya ya yBma
Shelter of my Aarm, shelter of my Garm
A hundred stories Dtold a hundred more to choose
Got a heart of Bmgold and a belly full of booze
And he'll rock it till he's Aold like he did in his youth
He'll do just what he's Gtold unless he's told just what to do
Cause we don't Dcare and we'll tell you why
Self made millionBmaire thrown everything in the sky
We Atell you why
Oh Gtell you why
[Chorus]
All in good Dform ya ya yBma
Just trying to keep Awarm, Just trying to keep Gwarm
With the shelter of my Darm ya ya yBma
Shelter of my Aarm, shelter of my Garm
All in good Dform ya ya yBma
Just trying to keep Awarm, Just trying to keep Gwarm
With the shelter of my Darm ya ya yBma
Shelter of my Aarm, shelter of my Garm

Cause we don't care and we'll tell you why

Self made millionaire thrown everything in the sky

We tell you why

Oh tell you why
